I've seen what can happen.98 I'm sure they are a good pump. They aren't rated for continuous E85 usuage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its still going after being one of the first to use e85 over 5 years ago might have something to do with it Every other pump needs to play catch up to the bosch as its had the time and rep well backed up now ladies 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many of them both mounted internally and externally, they all make more noise than the alternatives.I never said anything about E85.

That's how the dark ages happened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We follow a much stricter regimen of theory then practice to prove theories time after time after time. This is one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is proof that their are better pumps out there (I'm not talking surge vs intank). The 044 did it's Job and did it well for a long time but there is better proven alternatives for surges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the intake, spool noise and exhaust, I can hardly hear the pump. But I can just and I like it, because if it dies I will know immediately.I like that feature, many have had pumps die and have not known straight away. Nice way to run lean... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
