Zedn - it's a Boswell single phase, cost a grand. Bit of a gamble, but the last Boswell I bought was brilliant. Made a trailer from scratch with it, and have used it so much the handpiece is actually wearing out. The welder still works great. Apparently it uses toshiba internals.
Yeah the beauty about using one of these factory pumps is you don't need to put in a pickup or return pipe, it's all handled by the pump. And you can also buy a bolt in replacement pump that will handle 1,000hp so you should not run out of fuel. Yep best to build a box around it and try and work out some way of keeping the fuel gauge arm...... Ultimate option would be to have a tank that drains to a centre front location so fuel is always gravitating to the pump. Other option..... just always keep the tank half full and you won't get any fuel surge.
