probably have to find a dealer, or a local AC Delco distributor. i worked for an AC Delco dealer 2 weeks ago, and i could've got you one at my cost, but i have changed jobs, and am an RV service tech now.

Two things that wipe out a pump are not changing the fuel filter and letting the pump go dry.

The pump uses the gas to stay cool - keep it submerged by not running low on gas.
