    I guess I am just going to try a Delphi oe or Bosch oe and try to source it locally (or at least have it sent to a nearby Advance). This one is pure junk(didn't even come in a box, it was in a zip lock bag so I have no idea who made it...I have a good idea actually).

    Tahoe pump as mentioned in this thread is the way to go. Been running mine since my DMCH combo unit piled up.

    maybe this could do the job: https://aeromotiveinc.com/product/bi...ed-controller/

I know if I did the leg work I could probably save a few bucks but I would prefer to have all the right parts from Delorean Industries who has an actual intrest in the marque.

    I used Josh's (DeLorean Industries) pump setup without the fuel level sensor. I never had any issue with fuel level readings with the stock sender because I am old enough to look at a 1/8 gauge and stop for gas without needing to get it down to 20 miles range before I decide to fill up.

    He also sends EVERYTHING needed. Nice lines with 2 options (4 lines total), beefy check valve and AN hardware, tank seal and clamp, along with a new fuel filter.

    That definitely looks like a fire and forget setup. Very nice!
