Subject:      FI Pump storage Q
Comments: To: Vanagon <VANAGON@VANAGON.COM>

How should a used electric FI fuel pump be stored?

Full of gas? (that'll go to varnish, but might protect the seals). Or Dry? to keep fuel from messing up seals.

I removed the pump last summer, and replaced it with one form the 'other' bus. It was making noises, but dead yet. I did drain it, it took weeks to dry out. But now I have reservations on what I did.

If one does store it full, what do you put it in to keep from spilling the gas?!

Does it matter or we should go back to our regularly scheduled mayhem!
