Alternatives to Walbro Fuel Pumps
 

I think mine is really causing me grief. Are there any options I wonder for a drop in for an 82 Vette that provide 60 PSI (for and LS motor)?

The high pressure Walbro 255lph that I had in the Cobra lasted 80,000 miles before I replaced it and I think the plugged up pickup screen is the only reason it was going.

That's what I need (I have a 255lph Walbro, almost certain of it.). Wonder if aeromotive makes a drop in to fit my tank? :huh:

BTW, did you clean your tank? I think I might have a ton of siht at the bottom of mine that precipitated all this. Wonder what I should do? Drain, drop it and send it some where for a flush and lining if anybody does that sort of thing. Maybe just replace it with a fuel cell if there is an off the shelf one that's not too crazy expensive. This has been a real PITA.

They do make a drop in, FYI any pump you buy that's not walbrow or areomotive is still going to be walbrow whether its badged as such.

I have a 340lph for the stang

So there's two OEMs? What about Walbro vs. Aeromotive on fundamental quality. I don't want to blame my fuel pump for what may have been the problems of 20+ year old tank, but if I have to replace I want to replace with what's best.

I hear complaints on both companies, no reason to change from walbrow unless you have a chronic issue

I didn't clean the tank because it didn't look bad. The screen was the original which had 191,000 miles on it. There are companies that clean and coat tanks. My dad had a few tanks done over the years when he owned Reliable Motors in Temple City. I just don't know who he used. Have you checked you fuel pressure? Mine was low which is how I knew my fuel pump was an issue.

When we checked once with the Tech II it was around 58 steady and would drop suddenly with the stumbling. But I don't know if that's cause or effect. . .

Have you bench tested the pump

I didn't but LS1Z28 did and he said it was fine. Which is why I'm leaning towards some wiring/electrical issue. But I know very little about automotive wiring, so I don't know where the wiring to/from the pump is going/coming from. :huh: It'd be nice to find out all this was just a dodgy splice that acts up when moisture is around or something like that.
