eleven stampeding woodpeckers in tap shoes
I put a new fuel transfer pump in the Mazda today.
It's a simple in/out pump with 2 wires.
All it does is transfer fuel from one side of the tank to the other, and only when it needs to do so.
Sean bought a little universal pump for really cheap (like maybe $20)
The correct one is over $200 I think.
I asked Sean
"Why, if it's just this little simple device, is it so expensive for the correct one, and you can get one so cheap to do the same thing?"
He said
"Mazda probably chose that particular pump because it's quiet. Quiet costs more."
$200 apparently buys a lot of quiet.
edit: I found a pump for about $50 which might be a bit quieter. I'll harp on Sean about it.
I also put new rear leaf shackle bushings in the firebird, and helped Sean put new tires on the Cougar. We put new tires and rims on the Pantera the other day too... and lugnuts ;)
Also got Eric's new/old boat motor flywheel off to see the ignition points. It needs new points. (volvo outboard).
