Default Something better than a Walbro?

I used a walbro gs392 on my last build. It died around 9k miles. I was wondering if I should consider another brand. The tank will not allow an intank so I need an inline pump that will stand up to the rigors of daily driving. Anyone have any suggestions?

I might give that a shot. I need to figure out someway to keep it cool. The heat down here cant be good for it.

Do they make heat sinks for them? I wonder if building something to run air past the pump would help. (Ram air for your FP) Just an idea.

be aware you get the original bosch 0 580 254 044 fuel pump, as there appear to be chinese replica's around, best is to buy directly from bosch servicepoint.

there are in-tank and inline pumps available with plenty flow that should last longer then the walbro's

Strange that it died that quick. There are fake walbros floating around too.
I'd just get a GSL392, GSS392 is the intank, GSL is the inline. Should be fine with it. An 044 is double the price and unnecessary.
