    Fuel Pump for the 8G

    ok I have been doing some research on the Fuel Syspem trying to avoid the Stand alone and I have ran into the Walbro 255 for the 2nd Gen eclipse. Now another option would be the walbro 190, or the Zex inline pump. I was just curious to see who has another fuel pump. and how hard it was.

    You don't have to drop the tank to replace the pump. Access to it is under the back seat. The wiring is all there, along with the pump when you remove that steel plate on top of the tank. You'll see it when you take the seat out.

    I recommend the Rising Rate FPR that Vision Imports and RPW sell. I had it on my car and it works really well and is adjustable to somewhere around 75psi.
