"Highflow Performance" fuel pumps...?
« on: March 22, 2011, 03:06:00 PM »

Anyone ever heard of them? Ive been eyeballing one of their 255lph "walbro alternative" pumps they sell for $80 shipped.

They claim they are superior to genuine walbros because they are near silent compared to the notorious whine of a walbro, they have a one year warranty vs walbro making you pay $40 when you send a pump in. They also claim their pump outflows any other 255lph intank pump on the market at any pressure.

Its between that and a used walbro 255 I found locally on craigslist for $50...

I almost bought one of them. I opted for the genuine walbro however, because I bought an external pump and I found a kit with the proper fittings on the cheap. I didnt find one of the alternatives with the kit I needed.

However, I'd probably go for one if I were doing an OEM in-tank replacement

So what would you do then, new highflow pump for $80, or used walbro for $50?

Probably go for the new pump. From what I read they were rated pretty well.
