Nope. One pump.

In 1982, Westfalia made a mid-year change to the pump-in-tank.

Bentley VV91 does not contain the correct info for your Vanagon.  You
need to find the VV85 edition.

The good news is that any RV supply will have a replacement pump that
will work.

p-mail me and I'll send you the correct wiring diagram.

Leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs what is in the
sacrificial pitchers; this is repeated over and over again; finally it
can be calculated in advance, and it becomes part of the ceremony.
