  • fuel pump

    with most of the gas around here containing ethnol(10 per cent) does anyone make a fuel pump that has been designed for this type of fuel??? or should i go to an electric pump??

    I could be wrong about this, but I think most recently produced fuel pumps (and fresh rebuild kits) will have innards that can handle ethanol-blend fuel. I would caution anyone from buying an NORS or vintage rebuilt pump off ebay or from some swap meet vendors stash of such pumps. The rubber diaphrams in these older units will fail when subjected to enhanced gas. Besides that, just the fact that these pumps might have set 30 or 40 years is a strike against them even if they aren't confronted with ethanol![B)]
