Since you described it as giving birth to the fuel tank, I can't wait to see how you describe putting it back in

Pump is in canister, canister is in tank. Dinner/kid bed time break then tank goes into car...
Tank is back in. Pump hums when the key is turned. Waiting on my wife to get home so I can go get some gas and try it out.......

It's 6:20 am and I should have left for work by now, but I had to watch that video first to see how this turned out. Great job!
Dude, That is FANTASTIC!
Happy dance
Great! Was this the new pump or the old one? I lost track.
Way to go. Have you gone around the block yet?
One internet high five to you from America's Hat!!!
That is the new pump. Thanks again Nonack! The test drive will have to wait, the road by my house is closed for a parade today, and I have to be in said parade with the cub scouts. Also the fuel filter banjo bolts are leaking like crazy, even though I have them tightened as hard as I feel comfortable. I need to take them apart and try annealing the new copper washers.
WOOOOOOOO
Sweet!
It drives like a dream! The maiden voyage was around the corner to my neighbor's house. His 1999 9-3 wouldn't start. I think there is a law of the universe that there can only be so many running Saabs within proximity of each other. 
I let him borrow the extra ignition cassette that Nonack sent me and it fired up. Then we put the old one back on and it still ran. Huh.
After that I took it on my local test route and put half the car's cost in gas in it. It pulls well when the turbo spools up, with a fair amount of torque steer. Even the AC blows cold. 
I should get a licence on it to drive it any further.
Glad it's up and running!!
Nice!!
Great new man.. Love it when one works out ..
Huzzah!!!!!
$50 Saab!
Minor repairs tonight to get ready for the inspection on Thursday.
First the driver's side mirror glass was glued back in place. I was lucky that it fell off without breaking, and somebody had stored it in one of the map pockets.
Next were the brake lights. They seemed to be working, but the dashboard was telling me there was a fault. I cleaned up the bulb and socket contacts and the error went away.
Last was the headlight switch. It worked, but rotated in its socket when you turned the knob. I pulled it out and found that a little plastic tab had broken off. I crafted a spacer to replace it from a piece of scrap wood:
Works great. Total spent. $0

The washers should have rubber on them - this kit shows them:

Hmm...no wonder I had trouble getting the copper ones to seal. The Bosch filter I pulled off didn't have the rubber washers either. I guess the copper washers are working ok now, I'll keep an eye on them though.
Conga-rats dude!
This thread delivers. Nice job man!
