    Suggestions for a out of tank fuel pump for a 172

    I think it needs to be rated at 3.5bar (although I'm not 100%) what fuel pumps could I use? I'm looking to pick up a second hand job off the bay if possible unless they're reasonably priced - it is the credit crunch afterall

    any advice appreciated

    this one seems to claim a lot but do I really need one rated this high? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NOT-255-DA-27-...QQcmdZViewItem

    Bosch 044, but that might be completely o.t.t for your application, unless you're going forced induction?

    If not, well, I guess you'll never suffer with low fuel supply/pressure with that bad boy in situ

    Saying that, not sure if you can get dedicated external versions of them, but if so, the Walbro 255 is a cheap & cheerful pump that'll do the trick. I'm running one on the heave ho with no prob's...touchwood

    So if I go for this one I should be okay?...I'm guess you can't have too much fuel pressure within reason

    Well I have no problems with fueling my f7p turbo with pressure at 3.5bar I think it is. Would try find the bosch pump rather than the chinese one though or wherever that came from. Then again £40 you couldn't go wrong with a new pump.
