Default New Fuel pump

Just said I'd share my week so far....
Driving home Monday night on a back road about 9pm, suddenly loose power and come to a halt. Turns over and won't restart. I have a fair idea it's fuel
Related as there was no misfire just died. Check the fuse to find the fuel pump 15amp is blown. Quick swap and after a couple of seconds that blows too.
Ring my buddy and we tow it to his work, local motorfactors, and I go home.

I pull the pump out Tuesday on my lunch break and we order a replacement for today, (the good one, was a cheapy that was in it) and it landed today

Take a early lunch to fit the new one. Becomes a extended lunch as it's a pig to
get it in the tank, swearing and nearly tears. However after eventually getting it in, and yes I had both panels open for all the difference that made! It starts and runs fine!
I now am back at work, 3hrs later, with the latest sent from texaco splashed all over!
Still at least I can give herself her Astra back....
