Sorry, hit SEND by mistake.  Meant to add the following:

1) The link:  http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=69414

2) There are cheap off-brand Chinese pumps out there for less, but beware of
the quality. There have been some threads on them here in the past, so you
can check the archives. Be warned that some of those pumps are marketed in a
way that implies (but does not specifically state) that they are U.S. or
German made. They are not.

3) Make sure your mechanic finds out WHY the pump is noisy. Maybe it just
failed, but these pumps are pretty robust so it is also possible that there
is an underlying cause. If there is a restriction somewhere in the system
(dirt in the tank or filter, crimp in the line, etc.) and it is not
corrected it could damage the next pump as well.
