Used Fuel Pump?

[Seminole81]

So just out of curiosity, is it ok so you think to buy a used fuel pump? I've seen one for about £40 used, but I'm not sure if it's ok to get it used? Says it was only on for around 2k miles?

I'm a chicken wire and chewing gum type of tight ar-se, but I would not use a second hand fuel pump unless from a mate with useage known, if it runs your car lean on boost your in big trouble

just my personal opinion 👍

I've just sold a two year old rcm pump and the bloke was over the moon

I know I'm a tight !Removed! as well...just debating if it's worth the £35 or so extra for a new one...

I did, lasted 9 months then had to be replaced. For the price of them just buy new.

Walbro any cheaper? Sold a 255 a little while ago for £50

I just bought a new rcm pump for my build, not worth the risk imo too unless there is proof that it is relatively new, I'd question why it's being sold if it's only 500miles old

[Seminole81]

Well then, that's that. New one it is...after I check and make sure I don't already have one 😬😂

[Tidgy]

walbro do various sizes, think i'm on either a 400 or 450 hahaha

[stants]

I fitted a brand new walbro 255 a few weeks ago and i'm really disappointed with it tbh honest, the same day i fitted it went for a bit of a blast maybe 40mile or so and it started to whine, so thought to myself it may just need to bed in but now its all the time so bad that you have to either turn the music up just to drown it out or turn the car off to shut it up and if the motor is running and you get out its even louder so feck knows what people think when they walk past, personally for me now i should have bought the rcm pump (as a few folks on here said i should get) its a little more pricey but the reviews were better, just a little food for thought matey ☺

Where you get these parts from? I know ScoobyWorld. Demon Tweeks? Where else?

I would imagine so but not 100% sure

[Seminole81]

Actually, bit of research a lot of people say to avoid Walbro. What about Deutschwerks 330?

[stuartie]

Yeah i done bit of research first but it was like anything lots of people say they're good lots say not so much

That was a while ago... issue seems to have mostly gone away, I fitted my walbro almost a year ago and have had zero isses

edit: Yeh it seems there were a lot of fakes kicking about, I bought mine from here

Maybe worth getting in touch with them, I'm sure they can give you a replacement
