Cheap vs quality fuel pumps

[Yukonjoe2001]

Last year I purchased a new fuel pump assembly from the parts store,$240 and a year later the pump poops out. With rent being paid days before, and needing a new pump asap I turned to eBay. $26 later and 2 months so far on the El cheapo. This pump is going strong. I compared the $240 pump assembly with the $26 pump assembly and they looked identical,almost as if they used the same part supplier. The only thing the $26 pump didn't include was the fuel tank pressure sensor. It pops in and out of the top of the sending unit. Other than that,it was the whole assembly,float,wire harness and new o ring. I will post if this pump dies anytime soon. I do have another spare pump as well,because I don't know if I can trust this cheapee.

Good luck on that. You've might've lucked out.
