That is fast. I like the fuel pump cut out. If my pump
dies and I'm on the side of the road, I can swap in a
new one very easily. I also don't have to get dirty
doing it.

The day after I swapped the pump on the 93, I realized
that I hadn't installed the tank seal properly. 5
minutes later I had the situation corrected and didn't
need to change my clothes.
