Looking at the dw200
Anyone have experience? Something better?
TIA

No matter what pump you name, you can find someone that will tell you it is a pos.

I have the 300 from a few years back and it works fine.  The 200 looks like it will do everything you need and the price is right.  I say, why not?

[TexasT]

I thought about the walbro from full throttle but it is $25 more. I believe I will be ordering the dw200
Three year no fault warranty sounds good. At least they have conf.idence in their product.

Mime is very stock, just upgraded the injectors and chip. I wanted to put a pump and hanger in when I did a new tank earlier this year but the budget said not at that time. Just put in a new water pump last Sunday. Oh well, I do like wrenching on it.

Looking at one of these for the wagon to replace the 255lph unit in there now.

That looks like a nifty piece. Does that put the current pump up for grabs/sale?

I placed the order for the dw200 this am. 20.95 to ship. So $120 all told for the new one.

Now on to determine which alternator my 2500hd pickup needs as it quit charging two days safter the fuel pump quit.

We have a DW in one car. Not had any trouble (2 years). Not sure what the deal is with those folks
with return line troubles, our car is stock and works fine.

255 LPH pump in mine and SS hanger from Jack at Racetronix. Injectors and pump both hotwired....al so Racetronix stuff. Oh...and Caspers volt booster. Letting these cars lack fuel pressure and volume is never a good idea.

Rich, when I bought my T in '07 one of the first upgrades I did was the fuel pump. Replaced the stock pump with the Walbro 340 255 lph which took a dump within 2 weeks of the install. Put another one in, dumped again on me a in a couple of days 
After that I decided. piss on it, I'll try a GM EP381. It's still in the car and I've run upwards of 24psi with alky and NEVER seen any KR in any gear rugged. Lowest O2 counts I've seen were in the 730-740 range and that was in high gear. Call me kooky, call me wacky but that pump works for me.

I'm running the racetronix stuff.  -8 feed and -6 return with inline filter.  Wish I would've seen this thread earlier, I have a walbro that was in my car for about 18 months that I would've given to ya

[TexasT]

And I would have put it in.

My pump has arrived.

Anyone know what size hose I could pick up to put on the feed and run the pump after I get it in to put some of the fuel in the tank into some cans so the tank is lighter to put back up? Maybe 3/8ths.
I am excited.

[good2win22]

Just measured my old sending unit.  .375 for the feed line

[Steve Wood]

be sure your fuel line for inside the tank is rated  SAE 30R10.  It's expensive by the foot but regular fuel line will swell up and come apart after a bit

[TexasT]

Yeah, I'm familiar with the need for submursible hose.



I put a tank in earlier this year. I ran it out of gas as the gauge doesnt work and I wasnt paying close enough attention. That might have contributed to failure or the fact that I put it in in 93 or so. It was a good run.

I havn't actually seen what I got. Those are pix my wife texted to me. Yeah, she's a keeper.

[TexasT]

 Anyone have thoughts on what to do to the hanger to get the fuel gauge to work? Yes, I'd love a new stainless hanger, no it isn't in the budget.

Have you ohm-ed out the sender?  I believe the digital dash has 150 ohm sender and standard dash has 90 ohm sender
