Fellow Listees!!

Today I finally got the whining fuel pump and the cutting out under
acceleration solved.  As you may remember, the fuel tank has a new liner,
new fuel pump, and fuel filter.  It would idle fine but cut out under
acceleration.  Many list members believed it was starved for fuel.  I
performed the test for the fuel pump and got exactly 500 cc of gas in 30
secs as described in Bentley.  I then decided to punch a hole in the screen
sock covering the tank outlet (many listees felt the polymer lining could be
blocking the screen).  Also before I test drove the van again I took off the
return line at the tank and snaked a wire up into the tank. I also sprayed
carb. cleaner in both openings.

I started the van and the whining sound from the pump was gone!!! It also
drove without cutting out and sputtering.  Im not sure if it was a clog in
the fuel inlet or outlet but, the problem is gone for now!!!

Thanks again for everyone's help!
