A couple things..
1. That was already removed, so of course it's easy. You have to remove the intake in order to get to it when it's still on truck.
2. If the throttle shaft O-ring is bad, then the internals of the pump are probably not that far away from being toast as well, being that it's...
Found out my hard start issue wasn't because of the injector lines like I thought..
It's pissing fuel out of the side of the IP throttle shaft.... a known issue... about 2 drops a second...
Here's what I got....

Older systems not designed for it can cause issues re: rubber seals/lines...
DOT5 is hydrophobic, meaning it doesn't absorb water. So, any water, condensation, etc that makes it into the braking system, has no way out, and will generally pool at the lowest point.
DOT3 is hydroscopic, and will...
DOT3 if you're going to be using it infrequently and are going to change/flush it every year.
DOT5 if it's a daily driver or you want less maintenance.
Just IMO.. I intend on keeping it DOT5.... It usually runs around $60-70/gallon.. I got 6, 11ish oz bottles for ~$35 on Amazon not that long ago...

Aren't plastic/rubber studs still OK in DELMARVA?
I don't remember the exact situation, but I basically duplicated the ignition switch, with 3 high current relays. 2 for ignition and 1 for accessory... with the already replaced relay for starter....and just had them actuated by 2 switches.. Top for run/start, bottom for accy.

With your budget.. yeah.. that's gonna be an issue.
Most propane water heaters for RVs are somewhat like home water heaters. They maintain temperature in their small reservoir (usually 2-3 gallons), but are running constantly to maintain the temperature, even if you're not using it.
You're...
Put it on a timer, turn it on an hour or 2 before you plan on heading out.
It should be self-limited ~160*, so keeping it plugged in all night won't necessarily hurt anything, other than the additional wear.
It's basically a hot water heater element, designed to be in a truck.
