I recognize the interesting spelling from other forums and it appears the mechanic is looking for something that does not exist for a Reatta. There is no packaged fuel pump and level gauge sender available. The fuel pump, level gauge sender and inlet filter are all separate pieces. The fuel pump, and filter, are the most commonly replaced items. If the fuel level does not work correctly, Dave has found a substitute from another GM model that works, but indicates empty with a little more fuel left than the original. The exact Reatta sender model has not been available for many years.

Anyone in WI heading to the Iola, WI Car Show on 7/8? If the weather is nice, thinking of taking the convertible over there for the day.

The vacuum pump helps eliminate air because the pump is a two piston design that depends on gravity and the rotational force to fling them to the outside with a ball bearing BB sized wear surface that rides against the inside of an oval bore. The fluid flows through tiny drilled passages in the length of the rotor shaft so flows are small and purging may take a bit of coaxing. See diagram below

I've been lucky to. I use to drive 42 miles each way to work every day. I never had a flat that I had to change on the side of the road. I found a couple going flat in the garage that I plugged myself. My wife ran over a butter knife of all things one time. The handle was still inside the tire. I had to get a new tire that time.
