well after two months and tons of $$$$ replacing things i figured out what was making my fuel pump get HOT. about three months ago my vent tube from the tank was leaking and i (and the mechanic i was using then) made a loop from both outlets of the vent to dead end it. he told me that it wouldnt matter. today someone told me to take the gas cap off and drive it. it did fine and i could feel it sucking air. the gas cap is vented but it was not getting enough air and the pump was creating a vacuum and burning up the pump. today i dead ended one of the vent tubes and placed another tube with a fuel filter on it fixed to the top of the tank. does anybody have a better idea for the vent of the tank. the tubes to the carbon box are in bad shape. will what i did take care of the problem. thanks for your help.
