Electric fuel pumps

The eletric fuel pump on the old +2 is getting real weak (it barely fills the bowls) anyone have any suggestions for a replacement? There's only about hundred different brands out there and the old one I have is a no-name.
 
Low pressure Facet works well, I've used 'em with Webers on Lotus, Alfa and MGB. Currently have a Carter P60504 in-line on the Spider and it also works fine.
 
Nope. Neither one of those pumps has pushed fuel past the needles. I mounted all of 'em at the back so they do more "push" than "suck" too. The Carter is REALLY quiet, it is a "lift" impeller type meant to be mounted in the tank on injected cars to keep the "real" pump supplied on startup. Been in the Alfa a year now with no issues. I don't featherfoot the Alfa either, so there aren't any volume concerns. It's a breathed-on 1750cc with twin DCOE's and 11mm lift cams. I'd recommend the Carter at this point.
 
I replaced the tired 2.0L with it in 2000:

And she is a Red Head too. Cool
 
That was as a joke. Homage to Shankle more than its Ferrari cousins.

Unfortunately the red paint has pretty much flaked away by now. :frown:
 
Nahh. The Lotus T/C is a "business machine". Simple and gets th' job done. :thumbsup:
