Default D@^* fuel pump second one!!

lucas electronics stink! i bought a bosch manufactured lucas pump.
got my cars throttle response up to normal by removing one fuel tank that had a hole in it, it corrected big problems.(the return was dumping fuel into the bad tank. meanwhile i ran it out of gas a few times but not enough to damage a good pump. but it died froze up dead. anyone who knows of a cheap pump i can use or where i can get a replacment for less than 100 post it.

Any electric pump that'll put out 80-100 psi will be fine if you don't mind a little adapting to make it fit. Maybe Ebay?

Not to make light of your situation but it sounds to me like Bosch remanufacturing is a more likely guilty party than Lucas ! My luck with remanufactured stuff is no better than about 50-50 it seems, regardless of the name on the sticker

You should open up the pump and see if there's any brown gunk inside. That'll kill 'em in a hurry. I have a pal that went to two pumps in as many weeks. He put filters ahead of the pumps and the problem was solved....except having to change the filters quite often until all the loose crud was gone

Sorry about the bad luck

Cheers
