Seminole81 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 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 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seminole81 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 I know I'm a tight !Removed! as well...just debating if it's worth the £35 or so extra for a new one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I did, lasted 9 months then had to be replaced. For the price of them just buy new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole81 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well then, that's that. New one it is...after I check and make sure I don't already have one 😬😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartie Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 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 ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seminole81 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Actually, bit of research a lot of people say to avoid Walbro. What about Deutschwerks 330? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 http://www.scoobyparts.com/walbro-uprated-fuel-pump-itp154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
