Subject:      Why use VW Fuel Pumps instead of Alternatives?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi Listees!

A quick question regarding alternative fuel pumps for Vanagons:

Is there any reason why a domestic FI fuel pump could not be used on a Vanagon?

In my ignorance of the details of this subject, it seemed to me that:

1. the existing pressure regulator will/should? deal with fuel pressure control OK; 2. most fuel pumps should use similar amounts of current/power, and definitiely will use 12 V; 3. fuel filters are an unknown??

So, is there a good reason why we should not save money - and buy a less expensive domestic fuel pump, oh great Listees?

Thanks In Advance
