The pressure is really determined by the pressure regulator as long as the
flow id close. This pump was used on a number of vehicles including some
Fords and VW's from '75. Bus Depot recently had them on sale for a very good
price. Note that these pumps rarely fail without warning or cause. To not
find the cause may mean another pump.

Subject: Fuel Pump Alternative

Hi all
Well here be the Question.
Stock fuel pump Pooped. Worked off and on when it wanted. So I
swapped it out to a New OEM Bosch spare I had. For some reason that
one has acted up a bit. I need a spare for the Just in case factor.
Has anyone used a Universal?? or any other then the OEM Bosch Pump?
Now just to state this is the Bostig Zetec but the stock fuel pump is
what is used. Can I use or can anyone use a pump that will give the
proper pressure??
Anyone out there know the answer??
Thanks Jonce
