    Is the fuel pump actually failing? You probably already know that the easiest way is just to use the fuel side of the VRO/OMS pump by cutting and plugging the oil line, removing oil tank, disconnecting wiring from fuel pump and tank... if the pump is working OK and you just prefer to premix for some reason. That's the easiest way and many people have used fuel-side-only for years.

    I don't know if this article will help you, it might have info you can use or fuel-only pump part numbers. http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/VRO.html. If you haven't read it before, you might decide that it's not worth it too.
