    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    I don't want to assume, but this happened with the S1 switch in prime+aux correct? Or the regular run position? These lines just leak. Time to take the top off, and replace it with something better (I use a Gates hose, off the spool at O Reillys. Other hunt out the OEM Contitech... its been...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Airtex is having these made in China... I think you might need to wait for another resupply, whenever that is. I would reach out to the manufacturer and ask the stock status directly: https://airtexasc.com/contact-us/ Also maybe this could work? I've never tried it, but it has the right outlet...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    I have a 1074 in stock, but because its specially terminated to fit exactly in place of the main fuel pump, thats where I will keep it for. The other unit is more generic in terms of exit and entrance orientation, and since on the aux fuel input one side is flexible line (versus all molded for...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    I just had to use an E8135 on a machine in the aux fuel position. A bit of alternate mounting (square Facet was there before), and shes in there like factory. Check out the nice note left for me upon initial inspection.... And yes, nice fuel level switch...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Craig as you have found, they are out of stock in almost all places at the moment. Just put a call into Airtex ASC... they are not discontinued thankfully. They are on national backorder, coming in from overseas. They have a tentative landed date of 3/15. A great time for folks to start getting...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    These appear to fit the bill, as stated above (trying to take the work out of it for those who read this later on). Please feel free to confirm these are what you bought Ray: 1/4NPT x 1/4 JIC (90*) - https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/2501-04-04-14-jic-male-x-14-nptf-male-pipe-90.html...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    So FYI on Rock Auto they only ask $5.99 for the cheapest shipping (and a bit of tax for me, being in state). https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/airtex,E8135,fuel+pump,6256

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Same pump is on Rock Auto for $27.79, but with that said... its called out for "large carbeurated Gas Engine" applications. I wonder if its diesel rated?

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Here is where I bought new, back when I was supporting an 002 for my personal use: https://www.yachtsupplydepot.com/mechanical-supplies/fuel-pumps/facet-cylindrical-solid-state-electric-fuel-pump-480517e/prod_23449.html. This is the OEM unit, complete with EMI filter. Same price as I paid in 2016.
