+1 on electric fuel pumps. My Beta 28’s lift pump was either bad or could not manage whatever lift was required when I replaced my Yanmar years ago. This was after many other frustrating fuel problems (air in lines, fouled water separator, etc. ad nauseum) were fixed or eliminated). My mechanic suggested we bypass the lift pump entirely with 2 in-line, parallel electric pumps (electrically and mechanically separated since the pumps had internal fuel filters and if one clogged, it could not easily be switched out otherwise). Pumps were ~$20 each, and I have not had to switch them in about 2 years and my fuel issues are GONE. He bypassed the engine lift pump with some spare fuel hose—I think the entire job, pumps and labor came to about 1 boat buck! Charlie NelsonWater PhantomC&C 36 XL/kcb

Just check the pressure and that they are rated for diesel. There is nothing really special about them, our engines all use well under the capacity of even a small pump.

Universal wants 242$ for one. But while messing about online, I noted something on ebay that looks an awful lot like mine for only 35$; actually more than one. I'm not real good online so I have anxiety! How can one tell if it's the same or not? I only have the Universal part number.
