Not like in the photo. 6psi.

Not as shown. 5-6psi with the rod I used on my EMPI as shown in the picture which produces 2.5psi. With 1/4" gaskets and 3.4-4 psi. in. I don't want to sharpen my stem for this unproven pump. I can just add a regulator and hook up the electric pump I have.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No performance

Buy this if you want GAS in your OIL

. I had about 7 hours total run time with this fuel pump and it recently started leaking fuel right through the diaphragm into my body where it mixed with my new oil. Terrible product, now I have to buy more oil, after only 7 hours of work and its failure I can say with confidence, DO NOT BUY THIS

  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons

NOT EMPI as advertised.

brand EUROSTAR or some China garbage. The mounting holes had to be ovalized with a grinder to fit. I haven't measured the pressure yet, but I'm not sure. I will not buy from this fake seller again. EDIT: Fuel pressure at idle - 3000rpm = 6-6.5psi, WAY too high. It's garbage.

Pros
  • sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • communication with the seller

Works well so far but pump not shown

Just installed this and it works fine. The pump shown in the picture is for a different EMPI pump, neither the one listed nor the one I received. It outputs 3psi with the included shims as it should. The fuel line nipples are in a very awkward position, which I believe is a quality control issue with cap crimping. This makes installation difficult.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

So far it's working fine but the pump doesn't show up

I just installed it and it's working fine. The pump shown in the picture is for a different EMPI pump, neither the one listed nor the one I received. It outputs 3psi with the included shims as it should. The fuel line nipples are in a very awkward position, which I believe is a quality control issue with cap crimping.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor things
