Title: Replacement Power Tech Generator Fuel Feed Pump
Post by: Jim McNeece on February 19, 2018, 11:07:56 am
Feed pump died on Power Tech.  PT wanted about $80 for replacement.  Found an article on the Wanderlodge forum that shows an alternative feed pump with identical specs (and it looks identical).  Order off Amazon for less than $40.  Seems to be working perfectly.  Time will tell as my old one lasted 15 years.

Replacement part number is E8012.

Here it is on Amazon for $37: Amazon.com: Airtex E8012S Universal Electric Fuel Pump: Automotive (https://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8012S-Universal-Electric-Fuel/dp/B000DT7Y7A)

Having a spare for $8 delivered is also not a bad idea. OK for diesel: New Fuel Pump Petrol Diesel Low Pressure Universal Inline Electric Pump... (https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Fuel-Pump-Petrol-Diesel-Low-Pressure-Universal-Inline-Electric-Pump-HEP-02A-/132224092810)

For the PowerTech generators found on GVs, the Facet (Bendix) tube style pumps are OEM and do a good job but cost a little more. Lot of aircraft use them too. See all at Chief Aircraft Parts at: Search results for: 'facet' - Chief Aircraft Inc. (https://www.chiefaircraft.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=facet)

I have had a couple of the square type leak. The tube style have a filter in the bottom (5/8" wrench) that is easily accessible.
