Has anyone used the "PowerMax" fuel pumps?

(Like these

Are they any good? Three year warranty and a third of the cost of the proper Bosch units...

Is there any particular requirement for bleeding air from the system after changing the pump or filter or does it just bleed itself?

Cheers

Phil

That will do fine. Right specs. Excellent price.

There is no need to bleed the system after the changes. Just take care as you depressurize the system. it may spray a bit.

Fraid I kinda tend to agree. A fuel pump's prolly not something I'd scrimp on, personally.

Especially when you consider how open to the elements it is on a Chim.

I went for a Walbro equivalent to the Bosch.
