Need Fuel Pump advice ASAP

I was going to buy Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump but found this one that claims to be almost the same and even quieter:

I need to buy 2 so it makes a difference.
What I want to know is:
Is it worth it? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks.

Re: Need Fuel Pump advice ASAP

Unless your engine NEEDS that much extra fuel, just use the factory pump. The extra fuel can lead to overheated fuel in the tank, which leads to pressure problems.

Cheers

edit: I used to use the 255 LPH, but I am convinced that it contributed to my overheated fuel problems and drivability issues.

After the CAM that I installed it need some extra fuel so I guess that won't be a very big problem...and I'm not stopping there either so... :-)))
Thanks for the advice I'll keep that in mind :-)))

Re: Need Fuel Pump advice ASAP

I use the walbro 255 in my cars that are stock and have 0 problem.
I also use 2 of them in the tank of another of my cars.
The one in the link looks like it could be a overseas knockoff of a walbro??? Make sure before you buy it and have issues..
