<<At about 140,000 miles, the external fuel pump on my stock 85 Westfalia

brackets (3) another new fuel pump and filters (4) cleaning and recoating fuel
tank, another new fuel pump and filters.

Problem solved with a brand-new fuel tank.  I received a bum tank-coating job.
Upon cutting the old tank open, it was found that the protective coating had
competely sealed the in-tank cone and screen on the connections to the fuel
pump.


Thanks to all who provided suggestions on solving the problem.
