...was the headline that grabbed my attention in the latest issue of the RV Builder's Hotline. Click here for the NTSB report.
Now I'm all nervous, since I had to replace my fuel pump after I got stupid and cracked the casting while screwing in the vent fitting. I knew from the overhaul manual that it can be tricky to get the new pump installed, but it didn't seem to give me much trouble at the time... I just rotated the crank until the pushrod could be raised up, then sort of finagled the pump into place. It didn't really give me any resistance or anything. Honestly the hardest part was getting the safety wire just right.
Should I be worried? How obvious is a mis-installed fuel pump?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
