Almost made it home!

View attachment 63670Left Annapolis at 9AM with about 3,000 miles behind me and 500 to get back to Maine. On route 495 82 miles from home, the "correct" fuel pump dies. It did have 30,000 miles on it. I was going to put on my NAPA pump for the trip (never break) and actually took it with me but it was too hot , and after 10 hours on the road, a nice AC truck from AAA , sounded good. Got the car home around 10 PM.


Lot of travel and car pictures once I get my computer fixed. Had to use my iPhone for posting.

Home at Last. 3,500 miles and only 1 1/2 Qts oil and 16-19 mpg with the 3:36 rear end at highway speeds 70-85 with a high of 110 mph with lots left .

Coming home on a towtruck is rarely the preferred option but it sounds like the right choice in the circumstances.

Fixed in time for a Labor Day Ride! Trip to Carlisle, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Annapolis - home 3,250 miles. Fuel pump died 82 miles from home.


The pivot pin was not spiked , pump was only 3 years old , but a non Logo correct pump. It worked its way out letting the lever move with cylinder instead of pumping the diaphragmView attachment 63749
