[DML] New fuel pump/fuel sender.

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I like the new fuel pump design.  It looks like the GM style which has been in use in (probably) millions of cars.  Speaking with Stephen at the DMCH Open house, he said the pump itself it replaceable within the assembly.  That means, if you use this new style on your car and need to replace the pump at some point down the road, you do NOT need to replace the entire assembly.

One thing I would suggest for the guys who like to suck fuel (instead of injecting), would be some sort of external fuel pressure regulator that will use the standard pump and just send excess fuel back to the tank.  Another option may be to try and source a lower pressure fuel pump that will fit in to the new assembly.

Either way, I expect there to be a market flood of old fuel level senders hitting the market in the next year or so..  I know, I am in need of one too so hope to take advantage of it.  :)
