no gaskets ...

no worries ...

NO $1500 costs of REPLACEMENT ...

True... and with your out of tank pump you also get...

No handling

No weight savings

No desirability

If the alternative to expensive pumps is a big old piece of shite to ride, I'll just pay the $1500 thanks.

US$773.55 plus freight plus GST from Alpha-Sports in the States.

Yeah so what have Repco got that would do the job? It only has to pump fuel.

**Clivoris** · 2nd June 2011, 20:25

Whaark man. You can get a whole TL for just over twice that. The Apocalypse is surely coming for this is a sign of the end times.

What fails with these pumps? Do they do anything special that regular FI pumps don't?
I've dismantled and repaired the pump from a Mazda MX5, nothing too special about that.

That's as bad as MV

Better check it's not just a dirty connection eh?

What a rip-off, you can get one for US$547.94 from PartShark.com

$1500 in NZ - I wouldn't pay over $500 more than I could get one from the US for, fuck that shit!
Even ~US$550 seems like a lot of money for a fuel pump though.

I can't remember the cost, but I know someone who replaced a VFR800 in-tank fuel pump with something from their local autoparts store that was approximately the same size (same inlet/outlet sizes) for a mere fraction of approximately the same price.
