Bendix fuel pumps cylinder style is what I use on my boat, however, some =
on this list use a cube style as a backup pump.

Also, I currently have a Carter Pump on my Healey because it was =
available 10 years ago.  When it dies, I will install the Bendix =
cylinder pump shown above.  Watch what you=E2=80=99re buying as there =
are Chinese copies
