Been there done that... Good to have tools of all sorts...lol
I had to replace my pump 4 years ago... Great thing was it died in the driveway...lol... Got lucky.. Had 14 gallons in it tho... Drained most of it into a couple of 5 gallon gas cans...lol
Now 4 years later the Fuel sending unit is shot... I will be doing the tank drop again and will go with another new fuel pump too...lol.. Its not a bad job if the tank is almost empty...
