Re: electric fuel pump rebuild parts

If one of those little $60-80 electric pumps is to be used as the only fuel pump, the chances are quite good that a properly rebuilt mechanical pump will outlast it by a wide margin. Here in NJ we normally don't have more than a half-dozen summer days of 95 degrees or higher so despite the fact that today's gasoline has a higher propensity for vapor lock, I've never seen the need for one but if I lived where temperatures like that are much more common, I might have one as a pusher mounted back near the tank. Another use for an electric as an adjunct is for quicker starting for cars which tend to have extended idle storage time though I don't mind the few extra seconds of cranking time, it has the advantage of building oil pressure before the engine starts. Those are my views, others will differ.
