I have been watching your post for your progress... excellent!! I think that you were very lucky, from looking at the burnt parts, your car could have been fried. Glad you are getting it sorted out.

Ok,
I pulled the pld pump off - after a 20 minute battle trying to loosen the banjo nut fitting![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)
So I was in the process of hooking up my replacement pump while getting wet wis gass and could not get the intake hose onto the pump![soapbox](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/soapbox.gif)
So after getting more gas everywhere I put the old pump on and find out that the intake on the replacement pump is about 1 mm wider and the hose will not fit.
So I look at the part number and it is 0 580 254 947 - dies not match anything Bosch has for Porrsche but I did find a website listing as a pump for the ferrari.

I picked up the pump from a local Pelicanite who was parting out in 83 SC and the pump was only on the car for a few months.

I'm back on the road now![jumper](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/jumper.gif)
Picked up new fuel pump sealing washers from European Performance for a buck and all is well.
I did not change the pump, I checked the amperage draw and it is in spec, pump runs quiet (never made any noise )and the inlet hose from the tank is still in like new condtion.
Now I need to sign up for AAA...

It's only in the 40's down here with heavy cloud cover, but much better then below 32 F.
