I ordered that pump and filter from aircraftspruce Canada by phone thru an
office in California. Then 5 min after placing the order my truck mechanics
garage phoned to tell me that they had ordered a pump for me which I can
see tomorrow. It’s been a day long struggle on the phone and the internet

I keep a spare Westerbeke 301385 pump on Touche' for my 25XPB. If memory
serves me, the one Dave lists below is very similar to the OEM pump. Would
not surprise me if it's identical.

I added a pair of in-line filter/pumps (in parallel and electrically
switchable).
After multiple engine stalls over many months and the subsequent searches for
vacuum leaks/fuel starvation/etc. ad nauseam my mechanic suggested I bypass the

I added a pump to my diesel fuel line because pushing fuel before it reaches
connections (as opposed to pulling fuel at the engine) is less likely to result
in unwanted air being introduced into the line.

All - I will assume this engine consumes less than 1 gal per hour and all
that the pump does is provide lift - pretty non critical as far as fuel
pumps go.
This type is commonly used in smaller displacement vintage car
restorations, and would assume aircraft. Reputable brand, very basic. At

Hey Dwight,
Back in 2003, I got a fuel booster pump from NAPA. It cost around $110 then.
The original on my boat was black and had no markings so the counter guy
selected a pump with low a pressure rating which matched one used by Nissan
pickups.
