Hello All. I have a question for the group regarding replacing the original fuel pump on my 250 (4.1) inline 6 motor.
Looking online, I am finding many of these marine pumps with various part numbers depending on the supplier. For a few of these marine suppliers, their part number also includes "60032" which coincides with the part number used by the fuel pump manufacturer, Airtex. Airtex's website lists this exact part number as a marine fuel pump which is prescribed for a number of GM engines including the 250 (4.1). Yes, it has the lower bowl connection in case of diaphragm rupture.
Curiously, these pumps carrying the 60032 part number can be found new on the net from as little as $50.00 to well over $200.00 for what seems to be the exact same pump.
The question is: if they are all made by Airtex and carry the same part number, is there a problem going with the $50 dollar unit over the $200+ unit?
Thanks.
