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......

Unbelievable...

Thanx for the heads-up, Rich.

 

And here I was thinking of getting a Walbro fuel pump from Ebay. Thanks so much for the heads up!

 

That's crazy. Thanks for catching that Rich.

Good stuff Rich! Thanks for linking this heads-up.

 

That's pretty shady.

 

Wow. I think I will just order mine from a trusted supplier.

 

nasty. thanks for the info.

 

I'll take my chances....

Haha, yeah right. A shoddy fuel pump=rebuild.

 

Thanks for the info...

 

Good eye....nice find. The amount of scamming and cons out there is really getting to a critical level.

 

I certainly hope the packaging is noticeably different for every ones sake.

 

Wow, thats scary. I feel for anybody who has fallen for that scam. If the price is too good to be true...

 

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.

 

Maybe the fakes will actually be better than the piece of **** originals.

 

Buyer beware! What's next... fake Chinese noddles?

 

They keep coming out with fake car parts, some day they will step it up a notch and make fake cars.

 

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.
