Subject: RELIABLE Fuel Pumps?? Mon Jun 19, 2023 2:19 pm
1994 Roadmaster wagon. I just had my FOURTH fuel pump in four years die (two were almost DOA), leaving me stranded at the top of Donner Summit. I'm so sick of this.
Can anyone recommend a TRULY RELIABLE fuel pump for this car?? Something bulletproof that will last many years without worry? Price is almost no object (time, towing and Uber are expensive!)
Please and thank you.

You can still get the OEM Delco pump only that is made in Brazil, I think. I got mine two years ago and put it in the original frame, but replaced the sending unit with on off a Delphi pump I got but didn't like because it looked just like all the other Chinese ones except for the sending unit.
The pump I got was identical to what was in the car that appeared to be the OEM from the factory.
I believe the weak link is the neoprene connector on the outflow. When I installed a Delphi pump, I reused the said connector. No guarantee, but no problems in 40,000 miles.
