Re: Crossover pumps

["dmcman82" <srubano@xxxx>]

I have one of Darryl's pulley for the Volvo aftermarket water pump, 
it works and looks awesome! Now I have a lifetime warranty on the 
water pump so if it ever goes again I can get a free replacement 
from any Autoparts store that carries the Airtek brand pump and the 
bolt on Pulley Darryl makes will make it that much easier to 
replace. Highley recomend it.

As for the Fuel pump, go the vendor route...they have the new fuel 
pumps with the external threaded on checkvalve and their prices are 
just about the same as getting the Bosch replacement from an 
autoparts store.
