This thing is so cheap its probably is supposed to sit inside a gas tank, but I can't see how. It's rated for almost 90 liters an hour at 45 PSI. No amperage rating but its about the same size as the OEM. Threaded +/- terminals. Intake nipple = 12 mm, pressure side = 7mm.
Helped me determine that my original three nipple Bosch pump was bad. I routed the cars fuel pump return line into the tank return line and hooked her up. Works fine right now, had to turn down the pressure regulator and it pumps up fast. No check valve that I know of but it holds more residual pressure than my old pump. Here's a link, something wouldn't permit me to attach my web archived image, sorry. https://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogI...076604&An=0 Fuel Pump - (Electric In-Line Type) - Actual MFG OEM Part Number: BSH N69133 Product Line: Bosch Fuel Pump Fitting Size[s] : Electric Fuel Pump Fuel Pump Gallons Per Hour : 22.45 Fuel Pump Pressure Rating : 45 PSI Features and Benefits: This Pump is the Original Equipment Fuel Pump.

That fuel pump is a standard configuration much like the '75 - '76 pump. Used on a lot of cars with different fittings. Check valve is in the outlet.
Not "in tank"! I don't see how NAPA can off it at $31, but who knows. $60 is the cheapest I've seen. The last ones I bought (for fun) were Chinese "Bosch" just to see if they worked. |

Thanks for that info, it reduced post-install anxiety. It's so cheap I was afraid I had done something "wrong."
I'll check the country of origin on the box and report. BTW, it looks exactly as shown on the NAPA web site listing. |

Well, I just bought one to compare to the others that I have .... I may not need it, but for that price I'll keep one around.

I'd like to know your opinion after you take a look (worth permanent install?).
Here's a photo of the NAPA code # and country of origin: Deutschland.  |

I would install it with a smile and motor on. It should be a good piece that used to sell for $175+ dollars. My local store didn't have one, so it has to be shipped in. Now it's gonna cost me $40.00 ... what a bummer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

Now that I think about it, I'll buy another .. 45 + 45 = 90. I hope I have room for two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

It is a problem with this vendors description, it is the same part number (who it turns out is just a NAPA dealer with an online presence)

Not to hijack your thread but I do have an extra 'high pressure' Bosch pump that I'm not using since I decided to switch to Weber carbs. The pump is Bosch part number 0 580 254 979 and runs at 5 bars (which I believe is about 72 p.s.i.).
The pump was over $275 when purchased and it was used for one season. It looks like this but presently has AN-6 anodized fittings on it: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1312753185.1.jpg) These are the specs: Application Fuel pressure 5 bar Delivery rate at 5 bar and 22 °C 205 ± 5 l/h Pressure limiting valve 7 to 12.5 bar rel. Operating temperature range -20 to 90 °C Storage temperature range -40 to 70 °C Max. vibration 3 mm at 10 to 18 Hz ≤40 m/s2 at 18 to 60 Hz Technical Specifications Mechanical Data Diameter 60 mm Length 168 mm Weight 980 g Mounting clamping Electrical Data Supply voltage 6 to 16.5 V Operating voltage 13.8 V Load current at 5 bar and 22 °C 11.0 ± 2 A I'd be willing to sell it for $85.00 shipped anywhere in the CONUS if you need it. Just PM me and let me know. Rob |

I'm running a pump that looks like the Napa/DM one on my son's 1975 VW Bus (2.0 Liter, L-Jet). I brought the pump years ago from Summit Racing. The memory is a bit vague, but I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. The only issue I've had is that I had to move the pump to a location that had better air circulation to get rid of a vapor lock problem.

I bought that pump from D&M. At the time my 72 D-Jet pump would not run after sitting for 8 years. As it was shipping from D&M I took the pump apart and cleared the varnish and it runs again so I haven't tried to install the pump. It is the NAPA pump with that part number made in Germany.
Ordering from D&M seemed a little like a shot in the dark but the next day I got shipping confirmation. They didn't tell me how much shipping would be at time of order. It ended up being $16 and no tax so total came to $50.60. It arrived in 2 days to San Diego which is probably the furthest and most expensive shipping for them being in NY. I'd buy from them again but would inquire about shipping first or just order over phone. They look to be a military/gov supplier. Also it is designed to be able to run in tank. It doesn't require to be though. This pump is used in a lot of domestic EFI cars which tend to run with in-tank pumps. All it really means is the end without the leads completely sealed and can be submerged. |

The "in tank" pumps are totally different in design. The tanks have an assembly that mount from the top and an electric fuel pump will not "pull" the fuel out of the tank from the top. They add the second pump in the tank to feed the main fuel pump.
Since a teener creates a "flooded suction" by drawing from the bottom of the tank, an "in tank" pump is not needed. |
