Cheap fuel pumps

Post by fanta501 »

Fuel pump appears to be leaking. It’s really difficult to pin point the leak but the filter isn’t old and I have just replaced all fuel hoses in the area. As soon as I realised I had a leak I ordered new hoses and just fitted them and still got a constant drip. I hate cheap parts but genuine pump is about £270 and a new pump from wemoto is about £120. I’ve just seen there is cheap pumps on eBay for about £25. Just wondering if anyone has any experience of the cheap pumps on eBay. Is it false economy buying cheap?
Thanks

I've not had to buy a replacement fuel pump yet, but the wemoto stuff is generally as good as oem. £25 seems pretty cheap for a fuel pump so I would have my doubts...
