Fuel Systems and Drivability / Re: Quality OE Fuel pumps?

Garbage aftermarket. I could keep my old junk running forever if there was just some decent replacement repair parts.

I avoid anything stamped in China. Best option is usually Taiwan, followed probably by Mexico, U.S., and any other country besides China.

Yeah, it's mechanical

So 3 Delphi, none of them had an orifice on the return bung, one of them worked for 30-45 minutes before it lost enough pumping capacity due to the full flow return

I didn't notice it didn't have the orifice was missing until I pulled it off

Also noticed the dreaded A stamped on the, so I guess Delphi white labels through Airtex


Pump #2


Pump #3




I ordered a Carter again, has the orifice and truck is back on the road, I'll take 3 years operation Vs 30 minutes any day

Fuel Systems and Drivability / Quality OE Fuel pumps?

« Last post by Scaryfastatx on September 30, 2026, 10:21:05 pm »

Anybody have any guidance?

On my 305 dualjet with return, I had a carter pump and it lasted about 1-2 years

Finally gave out a few weeks ago

I ordered a Delphi and it was dead out of the box, wouldn't hold pressure unless I capped off the return line

Got a replacement Delphi shipped by the vendor

The replacement worked for about 30 minutes and then died, luckily I had some vice grips and was able to make it home.

The replacement won't hold pressure unless the return is capped also

It's crazy that you can't find a good fuel pump anymore

I don't know anything about TPE, but the ABS covers I have used on other vehicles were pretty junky.

I need to cover the dashboard on my 80 C-10, I see some that are TPE type instead of the ABS one. Anyone used one of these?
