It fired up and made it to my sons house. We walked to the parts store and picked up a new fuel pump. I walked funny going back. Felt like something was sticking into my backside. That pump was $255, but he gets a discount so it was $205. I have not bought a fuel pump in 30 years and ouch does that hurt. I assume he has it on the lift already dropping the tank, but it wont be ready until tomorrow afternoon.

Most painful purchase for me was having a shop do my fuel pump back in 2010. I still remember the $800 bill almost 15 years later.
