Sometimes it may not be your fuel pump.... it could just be the fuel pump relay or something as simple a a fuse... a lot of people get conned due to this....

once, i thought my fuel pump kong, stuck at home, wet over to a nearby machenic and asked him to check my car at home.... he came, said fuel pump kong and quoted me RM400.00. I did'nt like the way he talked, all lansee one. So i call AAM. The AAM guy came to my house, tested fuel pump direct using car battery, he said Fuel pump OK. Checked my fuel pump relay. It had burned. RM80.00 only.

He told me a lot of mechanics make quick money this way. Replace your pump for no reason, fix relay or something, you get smacked with a big bill and they get a working fuel pump for their next victim..... :angry:
 
thanks for the explanation minivan..
but mine is still working .. onli said to be not 100% condition.. going to be kong ler.. but still.. i felt that nothing wrong with it..
 
i'm using Sard internal pump 290 lph... no sound at all
 
walbro buy from the net ler,

you can consider power 255lph. using it and no sound oso (walbro makes these pump for the Power company)
 
WALBRO is many times stronger and more reliable over SARD..

we've seen some of the SARD's fail and cease pumping..
 
walbro high pressure pump got sound one ^^; if it makes you feel better, mine oso got sound. can get used to it one no worries, i am more afraid of not hearing that whine one day
 
sometimes I still hear that whine even when the engine is switched off... haih <_<

But can con people ... car like got external fuel pump. We need to get together for some sound comparison. Maybe an orchestra of walbro pumps :P
 
sard 280lph too big to fit in to evo ,
walbro is the perfect size ,

you can try sard 210lph , they are same size a walbro ,
 
It same le
those buying Walbro without kit you need to make sure dont your fuel level not too low..
but with kit. you still can go as low as normal

i already got the fuel pump in hand but no part no
but look like same with Esclipe 4WD fuel pump kit
 
What it have,
pump, clip, connector, float filter
no sound insulation rubber

but my R32 kit have it
