Kurt, That's creative... I will have to remember that one... :) but I just got off the phone with an old buddy I have in Ga and he is going to lend me his trailer... so problem solved. I have used his before so I know it will work and it will only cost me a kit to rewire and replace the lights on it...

I am pretty sure I just went to the parts store and got the one for the civie 230 and didn't have any problems. I also used tack adhesive to keep it in place while I put the pan on.

Civie Fuel Pump
