Reaching back into the nether regions, I seem to remember having
the same trouble after replacing the fuel pump on my '69 bug. I
was getting 8 mpg and brown froth out of the dipstick.


Check that the spacer (plastic thing) and gaskets are on, and
that the screws are tight, I guess. Reading up on fuel pumps 
couldn't hurt either......


G'luck
