Facet fuel pump alternate

[Munchies]

Hey guys.
I know the standardfacet 24v pump is the one the military has used forever on many various applications. Recently I have been noticing some odd looking pumps on sets coming out of drmo in 2011/2012. I finally looked them up and they are...

Walbro #6052 nsn 2910-00-930-9367

below is a picture. I have seen them on some MEP's now, and I recently got some M88A2 Hercules APU's, and they had two each in series. Walbro has discontinued them, and the new replacement is the walbro FRB-15. Military connector and all.

Theya ll share the same mounting width and are bolt on/ plug in no mod.

Just some extra options for all the genset guys!

Also, the new wix filter number is 33511
seen here

compare it to the one that 'kind of works'

No more bending tabs, and no more frams! I dont mind the frams honestly but now I can get all wix from one place, makes life easier!

One of the older 5000/6000 series Walbro pumps came on my MEP-016d from GL. We use them at work on our truck refrigeration units, they are good fuel pumps, they also cost around the same amount if not more than the Facet Gold Flo pumps.

They do cost about the same 'new' but I have found a few NOS ones here and there. Just another avenue, slightly easier to find than the facet. The new series walbro looks to be a darn nice pump, and its cost is right in line.

I just bought a 12vdc pump from NAPA. Very similar to the facet. List price $50.00 new.

Search NAPA Universal fuel pump. The have 4 pages of variations including 24vdc. Automotive quality made in USA to replace mechanical pumps on cars and trucks. Plug in your zip code and they are priced and stock shown for your area.

Aircraft Spruce is a good source for Facet pumps, I think:

That's a great supplier. I found them when I was looking for a grease called EZ Turn that's resistant to fuel, for lubricating fuel valves and things like that. It's also a good sealer for things like float bowl gaskets.
