Looks like it is just about the same price isn't POR15 like the industry standard for frame restoration and preservation?

Jim if you were asking about the stuff I posted about, yes it is like POR-15.

 Thanks to Jim in another thread I was able to "test" out the old pump I just puled out. Purple w/black wire is the 12v power, and the black is ground.

Took a 12v power supply to those wires and it was the faintest of noises. NOT that whine noise or loud pump running sound at all. Tested it again and made ZERO sound. I think it's safe to say that this pump is definitely dead.

Time to install the new one. Will report back.

 Installed the new pump and while I was there installed new fuel filter.  Turned the key to the on position, didn't hear anything.  Did it again and still didn't hear anything.  Said f it and cranked it.  Started right up!
Success!!
I went to test the old pump I removed and I could hear it running for about 5 seconds.  Then tried it again and nothing...Lol. Old pump was definitely done son!  I'm just glad it didn't stop working when i was at work because there would have been no way to get it out of the parking garage...Lol. Or left me stranded on the street.
I tried multiple times with new pump.  Started up every time.  I even waited a little to see if it would hesitate like it was before...nothing.
Feel so happy that it's running again..woot woot!  They must have changed something in the new pump because it's dead silent compared to the old one.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
-Nigel

 That's weird how it's so quiet, but smooth i guess.

 Great job, Nigel! This has been a tough one with all the cold weather getting in the way. I guess it's now on to the frame clean and coat.

 I just finished putting a new fuel pump in my Wife's 99 Explorer Sport. I used a Bosch pump & like Nigel's new pump when you turn on the key you can not hear it make any sound at all like the old one did (when it worked).

 Mike,

Makes me wonder if they changed something over the years..? Would make sense that after 17 years they are probably using a more efficient/quieter pump perhaps?

Good link for the filler tube! I just ordered that and the big hose. My smaller vent hose looked OK, so I am keeping that one as is. The larger fuel hose feels crumbly to me.

Seems like a quality part so while everything is off it's just good measure to do it I think.

-Nigel
