As some of you know, I've been running the Mallory 140 marine fuel pump for the last couple of years (since around 2000), I've rebuilt it several times (installed new brushes), but the pump is getting to the point where the brushes aren't lasting any time at all due to the wear on the brass surface being grooved so badly, I've cleaned up the grooves a couple of times, but the material is getting too thin now. So I'm looking at option on fuel pumps before I decide to buy another mallory or some other brand.



I've looked at a number of pumps, and rulled out the Fass (too expensive, and not sold on it's reliability), so I'd like peoples opinions on thier pumps and setups (no pusher/stock setups) from people that have had thier setup for a year or around 50k miles atleast.



If you could, provide as much info about your pumps and setups, the mallory on my truck is a 140gph pump at 12psi. I've replumbed from the pump forward with -8am lines and aeroquip fittings all the way to the injection pump. My truck has around 200k unofficial miles ( around 180k official), and is still running on it's stock VP44. I've had excellent luck with my VP, through all the hardships it's endured with the fuel pumps, from the original lp failing somewhere before 60k miles and me finding it then when I installed the fp gauge, to several times I've had to pull the guts of my mallory to get me back to civilized land when I didn't have a set of brushes with me, including one 70 mile jaunt between the mountains of NC and Knoxville Tn in the middle of the night.





Morph.
 
Morph... IMHO

you have done well with the mallory and rebuilds, continue as you have saved yourself a bunch O $$

and the replacements are very pricey and would be way over what you have done to date

all that said that if you don't mind the time and energy spent on rebuilds of the mallory... at least it's rebuildable

the only other two choices again IMHO are the one from DTT or the Air Dog unit [which also is fairly new and no long term testing done other that of the large truck unit they make]
 
Morph, I've spent a LOT of time digging and digging as to a suitable pump that costs less than a FASS type setup.



I've concluded that the best (not cheapest) option for fuel delivery right now is this pump: #ad




It requires the use of the Aeromotive Regulator, which adds to the cost. But it's engineered for harsh environments, DIESEL FUEL, and is rated for 100% continuous duty.



It will move 600lb/hr, so flow is not a problem, either.



Unfortunately, it's $346 from Summit Racing.



Read more about this pump here:http://216.242.145.16/products/product.phtml?p=44



If I go to this pump, I'm going to have to tap the tank for bottom feed, as I don't think the OEM fuel module will "play well with others" so to speak when used with this pump.



The pump appears similar to the Aeromotive pump the Csutton has over 2 years on (with no problems), but it's designed for harsher environments and is supposedly even more durable. You have to get SOMETHING for the $100+ premium over CSutton's A1000.
