Facet Fuel pump for Barrus Shire 40 Which one?

[reg]

Having changed all my fuel filters and cleaned out all lines and having read through previous posts it looks like I need a new fuel pump for a Barrus Shire 40. Previous posts have suggested using a Facet Posi-flow electric pump as listed here:

However I am not sure which posi-flow model to order. Anyone know which model I should order?

The original Barrus pumps are pretty poor and unreliable. Two years ago I fitted a Posiflow 60106 (8mm connections) and it has been 100% reliable. I did re mount it off of the engine because I thought that vibration may have caused the original problem. Position it below the fuel tank and after the primary filter.

Many thanks for the reply I have ordered a 60104 wasn't sure if the 60106 was to high a pressure, should of waited for a reply. Anyway I will give the 60104 a try if it appears to weak I will order the 60106 and keep the 60104 as an emergency spare.

Having read a number of posts on the subject, both here and elsewhere, it would appear that the barrus fuel pump is a weak spot on the engine.

again thanks for the reply and advice on mounting it

The 60104 should be fine. The pressure (4-6 psi) isn't critical.

I have run my barrus without a pump for a year , canal and river rescue just put a primer bulb in its place when a spare replacement pump was unavailable , they just advised that i stay off rivers where plenty of revs/ fuel might be called for, i had no problems running the engine without electric pump but i had them out this week to put a pump back in place after i bought a couple online myself.

Heads up

Just spotted this on ebay

12v fuel pump

which appears on first sight to be the same as the barrus fuel pump but priced at £26 rather than the £197 that someone stated they had paid for a barrus spare. Although I have already ordered my facet pump I may just order one of these as well as it should go in without any pipework mods.
