your information for 40 years, I traveled the world selling
automotive and industrial products. I was the regional
director for the Automotive Exporters Club and attended
meetings in New York on a regular basis. Many of the members
were VP Sales International of major automotive
corporations. The Bendix international sales manager had
been trying to convince the Healey group to switch over to
their pump for many years. Finally, they agreed, and orders
were being prepared for the change over when the production
of the Healey was cancelled. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The
pump we are speaking about was developed by William Bendix
in the 20’s for use on airplanes because it was designed to
allow fuel to continue to flow when planes were upside
down. Over the years it has been improved using solid state
electrics and continues to perform to provide fuel to
engines operating on land, in the air, and on sea. My
sailboat has a Kubota diesel engine with a Bendix fuel
pump. I was having problems with starting the engine due to
lack of fuel going to the engine, so I changed the filters
and forgot there is a screen filter in the bottom of the
Bendix Pump. Then I remembered, opened the pump, and noticed
the filter had been doing its job as it was packed with
yellow cake particles. After cleaning the filter in the
Bendix pump and purging the fuel tank of the crud the hard
starting problem was solved. They just keep on ticking!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

time the fuel pump in my Healey gives me problems, I will
change it to a Bendix.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
