Default any FI guys use(d) a Bosch 040 in-tank fuel pump?

most are priced at $199+, but I found a place listing them for $169...

just looking at options to the Walbro...
it seems that alot of people are having issues with the lifespan of the Walbro's...including me...

I have had mine about 4 years Al. Jerry has had no trouble with his either. I guess its the newer ones that are crapping out early.

Use the 044 pump. The bosch 420 is what I am using in the tank on my truck with meth and I have no problem with 850+hp right now. Stock lines too.
