Fuel pump bucket damage

heist_tub · 07-08-2015, 02:19 PM

Okay so I just bought a fuel-it stage 2 fuel pump from a member here, when i received the package and inspected it, I noticed these breaks in the plastic bucket. So my question is, does this affect the fuel pump at all? Or do I need to switch the pump over to my stock bucket which is still in my car. Will this be a hard thing to do?

That was a beta test pump assembly that was sold as a blem in May of 2014 due to the damage to the bucket.

No, I would not recommend trying to transplant it in to a new bucket.

Here is a photo of the original pump assembly when it was sold.

Thanks for the reply! Good to know where it came from and why its a bit damaged. I went ahead and installed it, everything seems good so far. We will see how it goes once I put more miles on it. Thanks again!

No problem, it should be fine.

That was one of the first ones we did and as you can see the bucket got damaged. However, it doesn't appear much has changed in the last year, so I wouldn't worry about it.

That bucket is basically just there to hold the pumps, as Long as it doesn't shatter or break into pieces you're good
