Well I gotta take back everything I posted positive about the Mrgasket 12S fuel pump. Bought my second one last May and it's already quit pumping. Runs, but no gas is being pumped. And only a 90 day warrantee. So it's time to change brands. What a shame, they take something that worked and redesigned it into something that doesn't. The first pump lasted 6-7 years, the new pump.............6 months. Tried to go on their site to log a complaint, but guess what ? There's no way there to do that, unlike every other company.
That IS a short time.. Hard to find quality parts. Seems we need to start thinking getting it the cheapest as it is all throw away now.
I would try a Holley HP series on a street car. Can't tell you if they will last any longer, but they sure are quiet compared to the older Holley pumps I've used.
Jeff bought a stock replacement pump for his 250. it lasted 40 miles, the replacement for it lasted 6 months.
Nope. ain't buying a Holley pump either. Seems I recall they're the same company. I just ordered a Professional Products pump that looks like the old Purolator pump I ran on my 89 Ranger for 10+ years.
everything I've bought from...Professional Products ...I've had to return... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pfs-10651?seid=srese1&gclid=CKvAuYOohMICFYZEaQodVFMAJA http://www.jegs.com/i/Professional+Products/428/70021/10002/-1?
Yea, I've heard as much too, but buying this one purely based on the fact it looks like the old Purolator pump. Maybe I'll get lucky.
The other pump you might try is a Walbro. When I worked at Mercury Marine, we used their pumps on both Mercruiser and outboard applications with pretty good reliability.
I'll put that on my list of pumps to try. Seen em around, just never had the opportunity to try one. Most of the aftermarket HP pumps have far too high a flow rating to suit me, along with the complimentary price tags to go with em.
the reasons I run a stock in tank pump ($69.95). regulated to 7 PSI for my carb and 58 PSI for my EFI. I can pick one up at any parts store if it goes bad. Airtex Part No. E2182
If you keep having these issues.. you might think about looking into a more durable pump rated for use with alcohol(bigger $$$ of course). I and many people I know have had more than a few problems through the years as well and it all relates to the use of E85/premium gas mixes we've used in various combos. This of course causes the expected problems associated with alcohol and rubber and obviously leads to much accelerated wear and failure. With that alcohol blending in mind.. and for those of us subject to using these mandated E10/E15 seasonal blends.. it's easy to understand why some of the cheaper non-rebuildable pumps can fail prematurely. Or just abstain completely from any ethanol blends if you have the option.
I'm not running enough ethanol to cause problems. I blend conventional 91 octane with 93 E10, alternating between the two when I fill up. The first pump lasted 6-7 years doing this. This pump should have lasted as well on this. Zero problems with the three Holleys sitting on top.
I just got done installing the Professional Products pump in the Comet. It's all metal construction is identical to the old Purolator 30 gal/hr pump that I ran for ten years in my 89 Ranger. The Current MrGasket pump is mostly all plastic with the discharge nipple just being pressed in the body, sealed with an O ring. That little jewel popped out the body while I was working with it in the car. That would have been a disaster had it popped loose while running down the highway, specially since the muffler is 4 inches away from it. The brass nipples screw into both ends of the new pump. Sounds like the old Purolator pump too, just a quiet ticking while it's running, just a tad louder before the bowls fill. Time will tell, but this one looks like a winner so far.
