Re: Hi pressure fuel pump alternatives

The high pressure pump is located on the back of engine in a tank that water from the lk is pulled through to keep it cool. the level in this tank is controled by a holly float& needle and seat. if this is leaking you have big issues. sure it is not low pressure? is it leaking from a fitting? do you have mechanical ability? if not do not scrimp over 200.00 is that all your life is worth? and NEVER put AUTOMOTIVE parts on a BOAT! cant pay dont PLAY!

This is the pump on top of the tank in which it flows fuel to the fuel rails. the tank itself is ok. this pump just mounts on top of the tank, and is seperate from the from the tank.

One of the electrica; ;eads broke while reinstalling the engine and that is where it is leaking. Do you know of any boat places on line or stores with inexpensive ones?
