Good for you.
However, watch that new fuel pump. I've had several go bad on me. One lasted a whole hundred miles before it was spraying gas all over the underside of my engine.
Two possibilities: 1] Cheezy Chinese copy of a real fuel pump, but made with cheapest possible components [and priced like premium].
Or
2] New gas with ethanol additives eating thru rubber parts in diaphragm.
So keep an eye on it.
