Good, don't let the cabin door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I'm sure Parker Hanaflin agrees with you at this point.

What if one flies with a wet vacuum pump? Pretty much bullet proof.

So is flying without a "stand by" engine! Why, with but one engine you
could run out of gas, or the crank break, or the carb fall into a black
hole; any of those, and you'll CRASH.

Ross,
I am not sure about wet vacuum being bullet proof. I recalled doing
some extensive searches on the cost/benefit tradeoff of getting a wet
pump or a backup vacuum pump and came across reports of sudden
catastrophic failures of wet pumps. I ended up just replacing my dry
pump with one with good reliability record/ long warranty life and
adding a Precise Fliight backup system. Wet pumps may not fail
frequently but they are not totally bullet proof.

I have heard of catastrophic failures but rather slow degrading. In any
event, they are better than the dry. I will clean the belly anytime.
