I found a guy who sells just the pump motor, OEM part, and much much cheaper. I can give you the guys e-mail if you want it, he has 1000,s and will ship anywhere in the U.S.

Hi
My sock on the pump was clean each time. The filter on the frame you couldn't tell, but the tank is also very clean, no sludge or rust at all.
Yes please send the email for the guy selling pumps. I will carry a spare in the tool box.
BTW, After the third pump, I cut an opening in the bed for the next time. I made a cover for it from a wrecked truck. No more dropping the tank or lifting the bed!
It hardly shows, and since the tool box is there most of the time, you can't see it. But if it fails again while on the road with my fifth wheel trailer, I can replace it in an hour or so.
Thanks,
Bob B
