Re: Fuel pump?

["Casey Webster" <tinfool@home.com>]

SHIT!!!!  oh well....I've already replaced the main pump....I'll do the

my question is which wire is positive and negative....I forgot to mark them
when I took them off.....there is a red and a brown......probably red is +
but I wanted to make sure before I F&$@ed up the pump

TIA
