Just came back from "Auto Zone" trying to compare electric fuel pumps and pressure regulators, I asked for a universal F/P & P/R, the counter person said "What Type Car" does this fit, sir I only wan

Happens all the time! Some parts stores hire people based on their ability to punch a keyboard instead of parts knowledge. I trade with a local NAPA store as well as an Advanced Auto store, what you

Rant mode ON! I just went through this on Saturday at Autozone as well. The oil cap seal on my Volvo disintegrated into chunks of hardened rubber. This is just a flat ring of rubber. Not even particu

I would suggest that you do a bit of research on what it is you need. I think you need a Purolator electronic fuel pump for European/Imported vehicles. (It looks exactly like the one for domestics bu

I put myself through college working at a parts store, so I feel I have to pipe in here. Its only logical they would want the make of car. There are many "universal" fuel pumps. High pressure carbure
