Hi Mark,
If I may ask, why dual fuel pumps?

A stiffer compensator spring reduces nose dive when braking - it really helps the car feel more secure.
Hi Ghenne,
Please tell me more

Chris, i have always carried a spare fuelpump in a bag with me ; just in case.

I came to thought , that when i would have to use my spare i had to crawl under the car ,and get dirty.

Now i have 2 working pumps in situe and when the original pumps stops, i just close a valve and a connect a plug and remove the fuse F4.

keep safe
