- now the soft line leading up to the fuel pump is in terrible shape… very old and soft. There’s evidence that there was a leak under the fuel pump at least at some point. I’ll replace that soft line as soon as possible and I’m thinking maybe I should replace the fuel pump too for good measure. You can see there was a leak under the fuel pump (could be that soft line or it may be the pump weeping)? I ran my hand under the fuel pump, brought it up to my face, and it was strong scent of raw fuel.
How involved is a fuel pump swap in one of these 250s? I see the are pretty cheap on RockAuto.

Run your finger under the flange where the pump is pressed together. That's where mine leaked on a new pump.
