I just bought a Purolator solid state fuel pump (exactly the same pump
sold by VB and Moss) at Pep Boys. The regular price is $29.99, and the
part number is PRO #42S. The specifications are as follows: 12 volt
negative or positive ground, 1.5 -4 PSI, and pumps 30 gal./hr..
The hose fittings that come with it are for 5/16” fuel line, so I had to
buy some 1/4” fittings to fit the fuel lines on my Sprite.
I bought the pump as a spare, ensuring that I never have a problem with
the S. U. on the car.
