I wonder how one would handle a fuel pump failure on the road ??? I guess start with a brand new one and hope for the best
I'll most likely start with a brand new one. I have a 40 gallon tank to put in it now and am debating on whether or not to install it before the trip. if I put the 40 in, It will definitely have a new pump, and I may or may not carry a spare. probably not as they don't really fail too often... (knock on wood...)

I appreciate the trip plan feedback more than you can imagine. I have never been to Alaska and I really don't have a plan. I made a goal about 6 months ago to drive to all 50 states, Alaska being the last hard one to get to. if you're wondering, I already have Hawaii checked off. I worked in the engineroom on a vessel that transited to Hawaii so I count that.
