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

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.
