Art, you need to remember that a garden hose is much wider and bigger so there's more pressure overall that you have to hold in. The fuel line is pretty tiny. :)

I unfortunately don't have a plug for the line with a sealed end so this will have to do, but I did do it a few times and listened for leaks from my thumb and what not. It was definitely a tight seal.

I'm thinking I might not pull the pump for a while. A replacement from FCP runs about $95, and I really don't have time to do that yet. I'm still waiting for my headliner material to arrive from the store and I need to tackle that first. It's horrible in my car right now with the headliner drooping. Yeah, that's an aesthetic problem as opposed to a functional thing (fuel pump) but darnit, it's annoying. I can deal with cranking the car a tiny bit longer. :)

BTW, don't bow out. The chit chat makes for good entertainment!
