I don't feel bad 130000mi. and this is the only problem I've had to pay for. I consider myself very lucky. Especially since I have the money to fix it.
What I do feel bad about is this weekend is my 16 year anniversary and my wife and I had plans to go out for the weekend. Looks like that isnt going to happen now.
Anyway I just picked up a new lift pump and i'm getting ready to get my new VP and hoses and primary fuel filter. Maybe I'll start to tackle this job tonight. In the mean time i'll try not to get myself killed in the company truck. 96 ford ranger 4cyl. cant even get out of its own way

You might consider getting a more robust lift pump to provide better / more consistent fuel pressure / volume to the IP, specifically a Walbro or a FASS....

Does anyone have any links or info for the FedEx VP44s?
CrobTex & I would sure like to know!
