color:#1F497D'>I have had a backup generic electric fuel pump on my BJ8 to
supplement the SU since installing it in preparation for the cross-country trip
to Lake Tahoe in 2002. I’ve always considered the SU the primary and the
generic the backup. On outbound trips, I’ve used the SU and on the return
switched to the backup. During the post-Conclave Northern States Tour after
Deadwood in 2019, I broke away from the group to drive over into Montana alone,
about a 160-mile loop. Just after crossing the state line, and in a
cow-country wilderness, I felt the car failing to respond to the accelerator.
Running on the backup pump, it was the one that failed. A quick switch to the
SU kept me going – fortunately, since it was now pouring rain. I was able to
locate another identical generic pump at an Autozone in Minot, ND and had it
installed in about 15 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I’ve never had the SU fail except early in my ownership in 1984.
After the Montana failure, I now consider the generic the primary pump and the
SU the backup. I know if the generic fails again, I can easily find a
replacement someplace locally. I do exercise the SU periodically, just to
make sure it is still working.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I know it is sacrilege but I have had very good results with
the Bendix style pump made by Facet. It's very quiet, has an inbuilt
filter, and provides the correct pressure for the SUs. Very easily
installed on the 3000 using an off the shelf T bracket from your local hardware
store.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>we discovered that the pump was
a solid state pump that had been rebuilt in 2018 after a few years of
operation. loaned him one of my old SU points type and it is working
fine.<br>
