Electric Fuel Pump

[pattypape]

We had a fuel problem, We did not notice the fuel vaccuum gage
in the red. We had only about 3000 miles on the fuel filters.
The Bird died on I75 just north of Macon, Georgia.
We had just spent the day at the Bird's Nest.
We either had some bad fuel or we really stirred up the gunk at the
bottom of the tank. We do not know how much use this Bird had the
previous couple of years. The fuel tank does not have a low area to
drain contaminated fuel, It has a drain plug at one bottom corner of
the tank.

Thanks to all of the Forums' advice, we had spare filters.

After adjusting to that sinking "Dead Bird" feeling, we went to work
changed filters, and returned to Michigan.
We do not have a manual fuel primer pump, we have an electric fuel
pump.
This made the fuel priming quick and easy. The pump is located in
the rear near the fuel tank, I can hear it running above and behind
the propane tank.
Our question is: Where is it located? Who is the manufacturer?
How is it repaired or replaced?? It seems to be located between the
top of the fuel tank and under floor deck. We can not see or feel it
with our hand, It is in a really tight location.

We do not want to have that Dead Bird feeling again if the fuel pump
dies. We think it wise to carry a spare electric fuel pump.

Thanks Again,
