Yeah, I saw that, Nick. Problem is there's only one, meaning that even if it went for a reasonable price, which I doubt, I'll have to find another. Beat up ones looking terrible and barely working are multiple hundreds of dollars. I can't imagine anyone is going to let this go for significantly less than multiple hundreds. Then there is the pesky problem of finding it a mate. I guess I'll have to go with the Facets. I finally found a good source for Facet 59SV pumps, $99.95 each, brand new. Now I have to somehow confirm that this is the pump number I need. This is much more difficult than I ever expected it to be!

Got it, will be emailing.

I don't think the 59SV pump is what you want. I could be wrong so anyone correct me but I believe that pump has 1/8" fittings. I think what you're looking for is commonly known as a "Red-Top" pump: 45 gallons/hour at 6-8 PSI. Part # Facet RTW506.
Where to buy one in the U.S.... I don't know but if you can find, I'd like to know.

I found the pumps - Billy Andrews at HRE in Freeport NY sells them, less than $100 each. He says the blue tops are the ones to get, higher pressure than the red tops. Does he have that correct? Anyone?

Now, the new question is where do you get the black fabric covered fuel line, what is it called and how much does it cost? The questions never end..........I can only hope the destination is as much fun as the journey.

BT and RT Facet pumps are both rated the same as far as GPH and PSI, so I don't know what the difference is if any.

Earls sells a black braided nylon line that's kind of similar looking to original. It's what I plan to use.

BTW, with two pumps, depending on how the two are hooked up, you can either double the pressure or double the volume.

That type of fuel line was used for many years on European vehicles. You might check sources on that side of the pond.

Hey 767Jockey,
Would you advise contact information for HRE? I could use a couple of those pumps.
Thanks,
Steve
