if you got a needle nose vise grip then just put some fuel line hose over the jaws....works just fine

FYI, these pumps are prone to electrolysis and will develop holes in them. I repaired one a few years ago with epoxy, still going. I also installed a ground wire to the body as they are suspended in rubber.

>Thanks, Dick. The pump is split around about one third of the circumference at the electrical connection end. It’s up in the shop and I have left a message for Jonathan.

>I don’t have the “proper”  clamp for the fuel line (I don’t even know what that is) and had planned to use vice grips and something between the jaws and the hose—maybe a piece of wood ?
