Review on Electric Fuel Pump E11010 for Onan 5500 RV Generator Set: Reliable Replacement for Onan 149-2331-03 and Cummins # A029G426 & A047Z224 by Maurice Stavros

Fuel pump in 15 minutes!

I bought this fuel pump to replace the original fuel pump on an Onan Micro Quiet 4000 RV generator set. Firstly, to get to the original pump and pull it out is a job that involves removing the solenoid, start capacitor, circuit board with metal mounting plate and fuel lines to and from the pump. Extremely cramped working areas for removing and installing the fuel pump. After installing this aftermarket pump and assembling the above parts, the generator started, ran under load for only 15 minutes and immediately shut down. Powering the pump from an external 12 volt source has determined that the pump is not working and is dead! I'm writing it from experience (poorly) and would never rely on aftermarket products if possible. I found a source that stocked a new old Onan fuel pump and ordered it straight away. After removing the failed fuel pump and reinstalling the new fuel pump, the alternator will function as intended. Some no doubt pay a bit more, but perhaps avoid the unnecessary frustration and labor of installation associated with inferior products, as I did. I honestly wouldn't recommend this fuel pump to anyone unless they only need 15 minutes of generator power per fuel pump. Pay a little more and hopefully see the quality for yourself.
