Good point. At $400 a fuel pump, I probably wouldn't carry a spare fuel pump either. When I converted to a carburetor the price of fuel pumps dropped significantly for me. At $50 a fuel pump it just doesn't make sense not to add a spare fuel pump to my assortment of parts I keep with me when driving across the country. Fortunately, I haven't had a single fuel pump failure since I installed the correct bulb in my battery indicator socket. -Steve Rice #1650 On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 9:31 PM, John Hervey <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I don't know what Matt has but if it's the new Chinese pump system from > DMCH > with the special pump then you will spend $400.00 for the all in one unit > made in China and then probably another $150.00 for the special pump that > goes in it. > Then you will spend hours on the road trying to take it apart and replace > the pump.
