Powertech fuel pump

Having to replace my generator fuel pump. I ordered a Facet electronic fuel pump from Napa, it was supposed to be in today, but they just called me and said it would have to come from LA and won't be in until Sat. Currently near Kingman AZ and supposed to leave Sat morning. Concerned I won't have enough time to get the new pump on as check out time is 12 sat. Will have to redo the fuel lines from hard lines to flexible as I'm replacing the original pump. Need suggestions for alternative pumps and any advice for redoing the fuel lines. Thanks, pics are attached

Chuck, simple sounds good, I just wasn't sure if it had to have a specific pressure and any other specifics? Learning every day here about the coach and getting a good education on the generator. Not sure if we'll be in the campground long enough to get an Amazon delivery. Going to Napa to see what they have in stock. Headed to Grand canyon village Saturday and was hoping to have the  generator fixed by then.

Why not something simple?

Amazon.com: Universal 12V Heavy Duty Electric Fuel Pump HEP02A HEP-02A For...

I've used these pumps for various applications (Ag and truck) for over 40 years  I can't recall any issues with pressure etc.  The first day I owned my U280, I put one on my PowerTech generator (Isuzu engine) and going strong after 9 years.  Usually pick them up at NAPA.

Is that pump running just not pumping? If so that pump may have an internal filter that is stopped up.  The bottom head can be indexed and let down to get to the filter if so equipped.

Mike, it's not running, I just replaced the oil pressure switch, it would make a couple clicks and then stop, I disconnected the outlet line and no fuel when I try to start it. It's the original pump, sounds like it just gave up.

I have gotten fuel pumps from O'Reillys that work great on generators.

Just wanted to thank everyone that gave me advice on the pump. I was able to find the one Jack and Chuck suggested from Amazon. I was afraid to gamble if Amazon could deliver on time, but found one locally- just had to pay more than the same one on Amazon. Installation went easier than expected and was able to use the same mounting bolts from the old pump.
