Skip,

The fuel pump relay is a very generic relay.  Can be had for $3.95 from
Bus Depot, $5.00 from VanAgain, etc.  Maybe less at a FLAPS.  Have seen
them for less than $2 on the net.   I recently installed one from BD
that had been sitting around for several years in my 85.  Had bought
several parts to fix the bucking problem in my  84 and solved it before
ever installing the relay.  So when the new to me 85 was having some
problems I stuck it in and it made a substantial difference in the
performance of the van.

There are a number of relays on the Vanagon that are exactly the same
and this is one of them.  Search for relay on the BD parts search and
pick the generic one for $3.95 and read all the different functions this
relay can perform on this VW and many others.
