Gas tank out, anything else I should be doing while in here?

I'm a bit conflicted on replacing the fuel pump link lead. I have an 01 VDP S/C, so I have two link leads one is a part of the sending unit, the other is just the lead by itself. The dealer wants $100+ for the link lead. It's two wires 100+ seems (insert explative) ridiculous for this! One of my leads was fried at the fuel pump end. I bought an Airtex pump that uses it own link lead so current plan is to splice solder and heat shrink. I actually called AMP (the maker of the link lead connector) to try and get a replacement connector, but they haven't got back to me yet.

Yeah, I understand your concern. I shared it as well. I cut the wire back far enough on the link lead that I don't belive it to be compromised. Additionally I staggered my splices so they don't overlap and finally the two wires are physcially seperated by the connecting fuel hose. I actually considerd replacing both link leads but that would have cost upwards of $260 (you have to buy the sending unit with the other link lead). I feel very comfortable with what I have done. None of the connections in the tank are sealed. Additonally this is the secondary fuel pump (not the primary), which I had been running with out for some unkown ammount of time.
