Kemso 340lph fuel pump

Anyone here using the Kemso 340lph fuel pump? If so, happy with it? I知 on a budget build and there are a lot of fans of this $30 pump. TIA

Re: Kemso 340lph fuel pump

For the amount of effort it takes to change a pump, why buy something that invites doing it twice. Get a good Walbro pump & minimize your chances of grief.

Secondly the wiring bulkhead in the tank is not rated for the current draw of a 340lph pump. I have seen many of these overheat & melt.

Finally, unless you are making over 550rwhp, then you do not need anything larger than a 255lph pump. Larger is not better in this case.

Thanks for the insight, especially on the bulkhead wiring! Yeah, I知 planning to be right around the range to where I値l need more than 255lph.
