Fuel pump alternative...What do you use?

Featured Replies

I searched through the USRM and searched for an alternative fuel pump but couldn't find the ford one I once saw talked about. What do you guys do for an fuel pump, since I was just quoted $300 for a new one (yeah right). I have a loyale 1990 ea82 with TBI.

how cheap a part are you willing to buy? the lowest there was 140. You COULD try hitting a junkyard for a pump or two.. once youve replaced one once, if you keep a vice grip and two small pieces of wood in the car and some wrenches (the vise grip etc to clamp the line from tank to pump) its actually fairly easy to replace on the side of the road. Two junkyard units would be cheaper than one new one.

 

Sorry, i dont have a link or particulars to the ford fuel pump info; its pretty cheap, like 60-90 for a new pump at a store.

There's also a Walbro "universal" pump (GSL-392) that several have used. It will deliver WAY more fuel than the Loyale SPFI can ever use, but is a good buy if you ever plan on doing an EJ swap or similar.

yup, I have a walbro 255 on my piece.. its a very good pump for tuning options. and its not outrageous either.

I bought a pump meant for a Fuel injected F150 w/ 351. It's a frame mounted pump, you have to adapt the hose size to fit, but it's rated for 90psi and a reasonable GPH. It was $87.50 from my local parts store.

Hi Daniel,

 

What I do is used when I have it, Ebay otherwise. I just looked and a company called "Mr. Fuel Pump" has one to fit your car for $50.00 shipped and it appears to come with the new harness too. HTH Others listed are in the $70.00, $80.00 range.

 

Last one I bought new on Ebay was a 90 max psi pump and I paid $64.00 for it.
