Suction screen in fuel tank is getting blocked with crud. Time for a new
tank. This is becoming a frequent problem in these vans, especially so
called low mileage ones that have spent periods of time unused. So far,
the best source of tanks so far has been Bus Depot.

The fuel pump on B. Bones was excessively noisy, so I robbed the almost
silent fuel pump off of Long John.  HOwever, that same quiet fuel pump
is also very noisy on B. Bones.  What gives?  How can it be silent on
one bus and so noisy on another?  Mounting brackets are the same,
connections seem the same ...

What gives?
