Rob, I don't think I would bring a fuel pump either. Maybe plugs, two spare belts, a good knife, and a spark plug wrench of some sort. Remember, weight is important.

Spoke with Raindeere. Fuel issue was the least of the problems. Early in the race, he hit something hard enough to endo the sled. After that, steering was difficult, and power was way down. I believe he said he had to quit before the first fuel stop, all he was getting was around 1/3 power. Other hijinx as well.

He is a bit dinged up, but functioning.

Last he knew, Wade was running, Kudla had finished.
