Thumbs down Walbro Forgeries.......
I searched and didnt find an existing thread in the 3rd gen section. This is the first I've heard of it.

Here you go, be careful with what you buy on places like ebay, a fuel pump is the last thing I'd want to be a replica/counterfeit......

That silly China...they go from poisoning little kids, destroying engines, and upgrading their military with lop-sided trade agreements we sign to. Oh wait, I'm part Chinese.

They already do... multiple companies make ripoffs of Mercedes and Infiniti cars...

They just don't pass crash testing....

I chuckled at the part of that page that says Walbro spends tons of money on making sure their 255lph pumps actually flow 255lph.
