I don't remember where I saw the post- either here recently or on
thesamba.com while doing a search for "fuel pump," but someone said that
they had successfully brought back a seemingly bad fuel pump by cleaning it
with diesel fuel- they ran it out of the van in reverse polarity with diesel
running through it, then ran it pumping the right way, and it cleaned lots
of gunk out of it. Of course, you'd have to run gas through it to make sure
that you didn't get any diesel in your engine.
