Was thinking I would include a pump next time I order something from the states so I'll wait till I know what else I want - but thanks for the offer.It's actually the shipping that tends to be the killer for single items like that.
We do pay tax on it here but it's my company vehicle so I get it all back anyway .

It sounds like OD is talking about taking apart the filter...
Why would anybody cut the "O" ring off? It's not like the tool is impossible to obtain...buy, rent or fab one up.
How do these people tighten the new one? Sounds like a good way to go out in a blaze of glory...

well.... its not my opinion, but apparently the OEM TII pump kinda sucks. However there is a Walbro 255lph pump that seems to be all the rage. i wonder if there would be fitment issues...
lol, nu-uh, i dont believe you
and how do you find this stuff out??? do you just randomly test fit things? lol

the FSM has pressure: 375-450kPa {3.38-4.58cgf/cm2, 54.4-65.2psi}
but i dunno about flow rates..
fwiw the TII pump you mentioned does around 85psi... but that doesnt really matter.. flow is what matters....

^^ the FC pump says in the your pic of the manual (image, line 7) is "at least 1,3 liter/minute" .... so it should be 78 liters/hour, correct ??
what's the rx8 OEM fuel pump flow ??
