Kosij Donating Members 2,045 Member For: 13y 5m 22d Gender: Male Posted 04/06/14 12:40 AM Share Posted 04/06/14 12:40 AM One pump is approximately 2 years old!The other 1 year.I've been to Sydney and back at least 15 times @ 6 hours each way! I've got issues now with the 044's but believe wiring is the issue, changing that today and if still no good then I will be binning the 044's. At idle the pressure jumps around a lot from 50-60psi needle doesn't stay still!!!!Just think kpm are making sure everyone knows not to expect a lifetime life span on there pumps.Is there any pump made 100% for E85 that can be mounted on the surge setup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
