warning bg fuel regulaters

I've had issues with my BG 280 fuel pump losing prime. I sent it in over the winter in '07 to the tune of $125+ shipping to have it rubuilt---only to have the same issue happen still in '08.

Not to mention---ever try collecting Contingency $ from BG??? I'm STILL waiting............

Making the switch this winter!

I have had the same problems with Grant products
I even bought a new pump and had it do the same thing
I sent the used one back for a rebuild and it came back doing the same thing
So that is a used one a new one and a rebuilt one
When I called the answere was they were having no problems like that and I was the only one who had called
What I found out if I opened the bleed screw and pulled the spring out it would pop and all would be ok for that weekend the next weekend I would have to do the same

The pump is well below the fuel cell in case anyone was wondering.....

Aeromotive stuff works right the 1st time, lasts a long time and they pay contingencies on time. Hats off to Kyle and the rest.

Product Engineering makes a great pump too.

I have a Aeromotive pump, filter and Regulator on my bracket car been on there 3+ years with never a problem. All I do is change the filter element before the season starts and never a problem.

all well and good, and he does have a few valid points. However look at it this way, if you have a pump fail at the track (pump side, leak, etc.) would you rather have to carry a $25 rebuild kit, or a whole other pump because you can't take the damn thing apart

Good idea to support the sponsors who support the sport (Aeromotive).... I've had my "issues" w/ BG stuff too. Thank God for eBay!
