1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time and money! It worked for 10 miles. -, March 11, 2008

I bought this pump in August and installed on my car, it's a '72 model. I drove the car to the Expo and back -- almost 10 miles. I parked the car until October. The fuel pump would not work, this would have been the second time the pump was used. I returned the pump with the receipt to Auto Zone. They would not refund or exchange it. I was sure it was defective considering the little bit of use it had. I argued with the manager at Zone Zone and swore to never to any business with them again. I bought the same pump from O'Reily's and replaced the one I bought in August. I drove the car 4 miles that day and then parked it for 3 weeks. I went to move the car, and nothing, the second pump was out. Lucky for me it was within the 30 days this time. I got my money back from O'Reily's and replaced it with an Air-Tec, which has worked fine 5 times with the longest period of non use being Nov. 20 - Jan. 18.
Don't waste your money. You will be sorry if you buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dont use for Diesel!, June 27, 2010

I always laugh when i see that huge disclaimer on the packaging. Like the sky is going to fall or something if you get it near diesel.
I dont know why its there as i have been using these pumps for the last 8 or so years, and only in a 100% diesel environment. This is to include all the way from 100% bio-diesel, 100% SVO and 100% #2 diesel and mixtures of all three in a dizzying array of quantities.
One word of caution though. Ditch the joke of a filter that the pump comes with, and place this pump after a real fuel filter. You'll be amazed the garbage floating in your tank, the stock "filter" will clog easily and you'll choke off your fuel supply. If you put it after a 10 micron filter, you'll have no problem for years and years.
You'll also want to mount the pump on some sort of rubber isolators, cause if you just slap it on your fender liner the noise will get old in a hurry.

1.0 out of 5 stars It says 12" but it was probably measured by a man., August 14, 2008

I installed this pump level to the BOTTOM of my fuel tank, up front. It says to install within 12" of bottom HEIGHT. Doesn't mention distance from tank. I figured that it should be fine. Nope!! This thing has problems with being on a hill. If you have to park on the slightest incline be prepared to roll, push or winch to get pointed downhill so the pump primes itself. This also needs to be mounted on rubber feet because if it runs dry, from sitting on an incline, it literally sounds as though a tiny jackhammer is pounding on your vehicle. Trust me, it's loud and takes forever to prime itself, provided you're pointing downhill!
