Also remember this,if you dont do the work yourself then DONT buy anything. They will NOT warrant the parts. So if you buy a pump and they install it and it goes bad a day later you are out of labor costs. I learned my lesson when I went cheap on a airtex pump last year. Never again.

Though, I do agree, I don't know of a mechanic the will warranty the labor on a part they did not sell you. Good point to all!

Wow. I balked at 200 for a complete assy for my Tbird. Bought Airtex from Amazon.
BIG mistake - The pump works fine, sender REALLY sux.
I'd go with a $155 rebuilt before I went carter or airtex.
More Information for RETECH RE0481S
If you can get parts and rebuild assy, Bosch is good, so is Denso. But the AC Delco is way I would go. Even Delphi might not be good choice.

My cousin got a "ebay" pump for his ford escort. It lasted 3 months. Matter a fact the day they left to drive a billion miles to Los vegas for vacation they got 11 miles from the house and it died. Lets just say he was not happy lol.

Haha i have not heard that one yet. I have to vouch for that car though. I has almost 300k miles on it. Original motor and trans. Suspension is whacked and the front end needs replaced,but the motor purrs like a kitten.
