The second pump was the water pump, which we discovered was broken, as we were heading out for our first camping trip of 2016. We apparently left it on for months with an empty tank, thus burning it out. The new one auto shut off. We found a SHURflo brand one (part number: 4008-171-E65) at an RV store on our way, planning to install it once we got set up at the campsite. A warning to others, confirm if your current water pump is wired for AC or DC. Our pump was DC and we bought an AC one. With some extra effort, we were able to make it work as we re-routed AC instead of DC. This pump was unfortunately far more expensive than the fuel pump, coming in at $330.00.
So now Myrtle again reliably pumps both fuel and water!

I Love the Travcos.
Every now and then I pull your blog up just to see what is new.
I will be getting the 12 volt version of this pump today (shipped in) to put in a customer RV. I'm a mobile RV Tech.
I think they did the same thing, ran it dry and broke it. The crack in the housing was spraying water every where.
It's heading toward fall, any trips or updates planned for Myrtle?
