I disagree, he is very opinionated and he does bring us all un-wanted promotion for a vendor who is NOT a vendor, or even a member here.

And of course he also breeds controversy, and sprinkles it with BS in lieu of facts? :eek:
 
Wow I never think I had a thread hijacked before on here. lol Anyways! After research I decided if I do need to replace my pump it will be the Racetronix double pumper. I appreciate the responses. I'm hoping I don't need to replace the single Walbro I already have in the car that was one of my first upgrades about 10 years ago. You see my undercarriage is so rotted that my frame and body are smashing together causing the fuel line to pinch and leak. So I'm going to have my lines rerouted to prevent the leak. I am definitely replacing the tank to help eliminate dirty fuel since I have the stock tank on it. At least replacing the sock as well. My friend I have work on my car is trying to get me to replace everything including the injectors. This is my only car so I'd like to be able to have wheels again a.s.a.p because having no drivable car sucks, and I'd like to start saving for a normal daily driver a.s.a.p. as well. On the other hand putting the job off a extra 4-6 weeks in order to afford the upgrade to a double pumper is tempting too with no worries of having to upgrade that area of the car in the future. Decisions, decisions! If I don't end up getting the double pumper I will at least get a new sending unit from racetronix. It seems they sell the parts you need to upgrade one of their single sending units to one for a double pumper. Am I correct? Is this kind of easy to upgrade like that or is it such a hassle I would be better off selling the single sending unit and buy a new double one if I decide to make the switch?
 
Also for the lines how expensive are upgraded lines? I don't even know the first place to find some. Should I just be ok getting new stock high pressure rubber line?
 
I did a braided teflon 3/8" feed line when my body sank on the frame.

I don't love saying that. :eek::p

From the metal line area above the differential down to the inlet to the fuel filter.

Double clamped no special fittings it's worked for 10 years.

Braided teflon doesn't have a small bend radius however it can't be bent tightly.
 
Found a pic. too.

Ran Walbro's for 10 years but started running out of fuel so decided to make a change.

Liked the output level and warranty of the DW and hey, it was German design so it had to be good, right. Ordered it from a Buick vendor and LMAO when I found out they were in OKC and about 20 miles from my house.

I run the DW300 pump with a BAP and "cleaned up" stock fuel lines. Really satisfied with it's performance.
The DW is a good product and some folks have had good sucess with it but lets call it what it is, it is not a German design, it is a copy of a walbro with a stronger arm in it to spin faster to get the extra flow, it is made in China as well. So it the Aeromotive.

Mike: The guys that own DW definitely have German heritage and I have no knowledge of whether they designed/copied the pump or not. I have been to their place of business in OKC and liked what I saw.

Strong pump with 3 year warranty was hard to beat; particularly at the price.

It is easy to offer a warranty when there is a 800% markup on a pump. If the margin on Walbro pumps from years ago were still intact liberal warranties would still be in effect. Walbro distribution is to blame for over-saturating the market and driving the price down to the point where there is little to no margin on them. They are trying to maintain fair market pricing on the new Walbro turbine pumps but it will only be a matter of time before eBay sellers drive them into the ground.
 
This is some damn fine entertainment here.
