Subject:Why use VW Fuel Pumps instead of Alternatives?
From:Marshall Ruskin

Hi Listees!

A quick question regarding alternative fuel pumps for Vanagons:

Is there any reason why a domestic FI fuel pump could not be used on a
Vanagon?

In my ignorance of the details of this subject, it seemed to me that:

1.    the existing pressure regulator will/should? deal with fuel pressure
control OK;
2.    most fuel pumps should use similar amounts of current/power, and
definitiely will use 12 V;
3.    fuel filters are an unknown??

So, is there a good reason why we should not save money - and buy a less
expensive domestic fuel pump, oh great Listees?

Thanks In Advance
