another possibility?
Perhaps a 'care package' consisting of the updated checkvalves could be made to those who don't mind pulling their own pumps apart - warranty issues notwithstanding?
And although never called into question, I wanted to mention that the reliability of small brushless DC motors is exceptional. That - along with the simplified plumbing arrangement - was why I took part in the group buy.
For the record, I am planning to use the ECI fuel injection system, in which the pump is used only for priming in normal operation. Want to be bloody sure it works if the engine-mounted vane pump (also proven to be extremely reliable in my experience) ever goes t/u.

I've tried emailing them over the last several years and never got a response. People have been complaining about the lack of response as far back as I can remember. They just don't answer (or read) their email.

I have had luck in just calling them on the phone. Someone always answered and a person that could help was always available.

Sorry guys for not getting back to you on the emails.
I'll go through then right away and i'll be in touch. If it's any consolation i've been busy making the replacement pumps.
If you want to forward your emails again i'd be grateful.
Owen
