I heard a lot of stories of Walbro 255 dying from overheating if you drive around with less than half tank of gas often. But then again maybe there are a lot of stories because it is the most popular fuel pump out there.

I myself running a second hand Walbro 255, 2 years no problems so far. But it is pretty loud. Feel cool when I remote start the car, it's like I'm launching a rocket.

Couldn't believe the price until I check it myself, killer deal. I don't know why aren't they more popular?

Ive ran my walbro for 3 years now, and i have had it below the 1/4 tank plenty of times. the trick is to be easy on it when its low on fuel so youre not putting extra strain on the pump since it lubricates and cools itself using the fuel

Mine sounds like that most of the time. Today though it was like "Wooooooooooooo! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Scared the hell out of me. Thought there was someone behind my car about to rape me.
