Default Facet 12 volts fuel pump ?

Any one having issues with the plastic Facet 12 volts fuel pump. I am been told not to use it because of leaking issues. Here is a picture of the pump I will be using. Let me know if there is a problem using it.

Thanks
Frenchy

Hi Frenchy
I have two of them. One on a 32 and one on a 39. Neither one leak and work well for me.
They are both 12 volt.

If you are looking for an alternative, try a pump from an '86 Mazda pickup. Internally regulated, inexpensive, and easy to find at the local parts store.

I've never had the plastic one , but I have used several of the metal ones and never had a problem.
