Yesterday we left Jervis Bay Marine Park in the late afternoon. We were driving towards Batemans Bay. It was dark and we were driving through a town called Ulladulla when the van just stopped. We started it again but there was absolutely no power and the van stalled. There I was crying because something else was wrong with the van. As it was late and everything was closed we tried to drive to place where we could park our van and spend the night. Ben had to continually press on the accelarator so that the van didn't stall. We found a place and went to sleep...
Ben wanted to see where the problem was coming from so he looked at the fuel pump and noticed that the mechanics in Kiama blocked a tube in the fuel pump that shouldn't be blocked. We decide to go to REPCO which is a car parts and accesories store and ask a mechanic there if he can take a look at the van and find out what is wrong with it. He was very friendly and took a look at it, he said that there was definitly something wrong with the fact that they had blocked a pipe. He asked us where we go our fuel pump changed and where they had bought the part from. Ben told him that the part came from REPCO, so the mechanic said that as the parts are garantied we should go to a garage to see what is wrong with it and we wouldn't have to pay for anything. So thats what we did.
We toom it to a garage not far from the shop and the guy who took a look at it said that its normal that we were having problems with the fuel pump because it was installed the wrong way round !!! Well we really got ripped off in Kiama and the mechanics there don't even know how to change a fuel pump !!!!!!
Anyway he installed a new one and by the end of the afternoon the job was done and we could set off again...
