I thought I had posted it before because I thought they were the E52s as well. And that is a good picture to confirm it with. Thank you for that. Well now it is a waiting game till I can get a new fuel pump. Im going to take down the gas tank once I get time. I will be taking a lot of pictures through out this build to keep a record of it. So that is something to look forward to.

And what is every ones opinion on buying a cheaper pump? Or should I just save and get a good Bosch one?

Here on Pelican many of the cheaper cheapskates dwell, if we knew of a cheaper thing that worked we would be using it. I would put in a used pump before buying a cheap unknown.

It hasn't been announced yet, but "usually" 928 International |Porsche 928 Parts | New, Used and Rebuilt has a half priced sale on used items at the end of the year.

I will keep an eye on their products. I had found that site just before finding this one. But last I looked they dont have my pump as a used pump. I will probably just say screw it and buy a good new one so that I'm not taking any chances. I dont want to replace it again in less than a year.

There are certain things that are great to buy used and from 928 Intl. A used fuel pump is not one of them. The reason being is that you will never be positive about a used pump if you have some fuel related issues. I've been there and done that. Just my 2 cents.

What about a Walbro? 1981-1982 Porsche 928 Fuel Pump 8 Cyl. 4.5L [GCL606] - $135.56 : Fuel Pumps - FuelPumps.com, Buy a Fuel Pump Online

Should I get the 255lph? And If I do, which I probably will because its the same price, am I going to need a FPR?

Yup, on the FPR. Walbros are great pumps but just get a new Stock one and be done with it. Your running a stock 928, you don't need the extra lph.

Was trying to think for the future but it will be a while before I do anything aftermarket. I've used the walboro 255 on my old DSMs so good to know I can get them for the Porsche. And the walboro is cheaper than bosch. I am going to try to soak my pump in mineral spirits to see if I can bring it back to life. At least to just get her running.

Saving money on a 928 very often doesn't work out. I've been trying for a few years, and less than half the time going cheap has turned out cheaper.

OTOH I am a big fan of 928Intl because they don't sell every part that comes in, generally only the stuff that in their experience is still good. Course I am 10 min away from them, so a parts swap isn't an issue, but of items they can test its pretty much zero doa.

Yea. I dont think that I will be trying to go cheap with this car. I have with all my other cars but this one I may just shell out the extra to make sure. But with the fuel pump I can get it cheaper if I buy a Walbro and I trust them to be reliable.

Ok today I finally took the pump off the bracket with the filter. Both the pipe end into the pump and the pump opening itself were clogged shut. I put them in a mineral spirits bath and am going to let them sit for a day or so and try to clean some of the grime out then may soak them again. I am hoping that I can revive this pump for the time being. Just a cheap test before spending money, esp because I wont have any to spend any time soon.

Sounds like dropping the tank and flushing all the lines might be a good step.

I hope the Walbro works well for you, but it would be the first thing I would suspect with any type of issue on the car that touches it, fuel, electrical, even mechanical things like the level sensor in the tank and the tank itself.

I'm with Mike on this one. Just keep it all stock for now. At least till it's all sorted and running right. Then go to town and bolt on an SC or Turbo, then get all the supporting pieces need to fuel it. Like a Walbro, FPR, etc.

Oh I'm not looking to mod her for a while. I will be dropping the tank and flushing it out and cleaning all the fuel lines. That I have already been working on. I may replace the lines if I can find a cheap enough fuel line kit.

Most "kits" aren't cheap. Not sure about the fuel hoses above the tank but the front ones you can buy the hoses at any Auto Parts Store. Just make sure it's high pressure fuel injection hose (30R9). It's all in the "Common Fixes" Thread.

I will give that thread a good go over today if I have the time. The weather is starting to get cold again and it is making it hard to get the motivation to do anything to her. I need to get me a good space heater and run an extension cord to my garage for better lighting and the heater. I just got a promotion at work that came with a pretty hefty pay raise. Couldn't have come at a better time too. I finally have a nice toy to work on and now I should have the money to do so once I am caught up on my bills. I want to be debt free asap so that I don't have to worry about lawsuits for not paying people. Anyways once I can get the heater work will promptly resume.

Your a smart guy. A whole lot smarter than me :cool:

I dont want anything to happen that might require me to sell my car.

Roger just posted a revision on fuel lines on rennlist. All his kits are now, off road use only, and the recommendation for for a newer standard than I think 30R9 that better accommodates ethanol etc. fuel mixes, but don't say what it is, maybe just a certain brand of 30R9.

Vendor disclaimers due to Randess whining.

For now I think I would stick with 30R9 AND a major brand like Goodyear or Gates.
