[W126 Coupe] 1991 560 SEC Fuel Pump Replacement

[Henry Viveiros]

Thanks for the details, Dick - I once lost everything I owned in a gasoline
(aviation Fuel) fire. Someone dynamited a pipeline that went from the Shell
Oil Company refinery in Martinez, California, clear across Contra Costa
County, down into a very rustic community called Canyon California, up the
other side of the canyon to the Alameda Naval Air Station with one leg going
to the San Jose International Airport. Fifty five thousand gallons of fuel
flowed down the creek in front of the 1911 two-story building I was leasing
(it was a two story building built in 1911 that was a General Store, a U.S.
Post Office and a 4-bedroom home). About an hour later the vapors ignited,
killed one person, badly burned another, completely burned several vehicles
and burned the building to the ground. The fire lasted from about 10 P.M. to
about 6 A.M. I was there and I lost everything I owned. It was on St.
Patrick's day in 1969.

I promise to be careful when I do these repairs, and thanks again for the
advice. I haven't looked at what is involved with removing the entire
package or where I need to clamp off the line from the fuel tank, but I'll
be as careful as I can. I had thought that there was a line going into a "T"
that would be the place to clamp, but I'll look again.
