Can't Beat This Fuel Pump Alternative
« on: June 28, 2011, 10:37:21 AM »
Rather than send a bunch of pm's, I decided to post this.  I had been contemplating getting asome aluminum sleeves made to convert the cheap  Purolator Facet 38 mm fuel pumps [$80 Napa, $63 Advance Auto, $36 + S&H Ebay] to either 52 mm or 43 mm.  Hat tip to the Duck for the latter info.

I pestered a lot of folks for info, researched my fingers off, ordered 3 E bay pumps, then found this:
http://www.euromotoelectrics.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=FP-231KIT  For $9 or $14, you can have the same results w/ no possible problems.  Note their 'kit' has same cheap pump.

The pumps will be here today.  I'm keeping one.  Being 'old school' where a deal is a deal, I'd rather take a minor beating on the other two than return them.

I'll have [2], NIB, $40 shipped lower 48.  

Duck, I'll have your 'loaners' and that tank paint plug in mail today or in the a.m., depending on UPS arrival.

Thanks to all that helped!

Aw shucks! Wish I had seen that before I replaced Ocelot's fuel pump.

awshucks, I changed the title of your post slightly so it would be easier for someone to find the fuel pump that you found. Good work, that's a great site!
