Personally I am running the mechanical pump on my own carrier as well as the ones form work. I run a filter just before the fuel pump as any sediment getting to the pump will dislodge the check valves and cause the pump to merely idle.

Thanks, Rob. I'll get the NAPA 571 one. Somebody already installed a filter upstream of the pump.
