I can get my hands on one for $360 shipped from a guy who doesn't need a twin pump setup anymore. One pump is brand new and the other has about 500 miles on it. I'm aware the FB's had issues early on. Should I avoid getting this one or any FB period?

Thank you Ethan!

 

I'm also wondering the same op...can you pm me what you were about to find out about it?

 

+1 i am also wanting a full blown with twin walbro set up.

what issues are you heard?

 

The fuel leaking out of the wire hole seems to be a comon problem

 

That hole is tricky to seal because the power wires to the pump(s) have to be fished through it, and then "sealed" with with some kind of epoxy. This Epoxy will have to be impervious to gasoline and any kind of additives, Ethanol, injector cleaners one may use down the road.

Did anyone find other, more secure ways to seal up this hole?

 

mine works fine... there all kinds of post out there about the fuel leaking issue.

Actually, it more seeps up through the epoxy.

i think full blown will rebuild it for you with their "new" epoxy but im not sure if it solves it either.

ive thought about looking into drilling it out and installing the industrial style fittings on it... ...
but the small hint of E85 smell in the cabin just adds to the experience... hahaha.

 

I wasn't advised not to get this setup or steered away from it...but rather guided by an opinion I trust to go another direction. Also, the price the guy was asking for his "lightly" used FB setup wasn't too far discounted from a brand new one, so I decided to pass.

 

This is exactly what I am trying to do. :}
