[Rovernet] Fuel Pump NADA 3500s

[magnet at ican.net]

Just one more word on these pumps...

As I understand it, Facet took over the manufacture of Bendix fuel 
pumps, and the current Facet number for the 3500S pump is 476087.

A Google search on "Facet 476087" will produce a list of suppliers of 
this pump, in the UK and USA.  Some also list the pump's internal filter 
and gasket.

Cheers,
