I just installed my 3rd fuel pump system on my 2008 5.7gi. Last replacement was an OEM pump that I was told Carter pumps had made changes to address the interior paint issue....that was a LIE.

I did research and found Troy at mancavemechanic dot com. He rebuilds your OEM and removes all interior paint or can ship you an OEM ready to install that he has already refurbished and removed the paint.

Price is unbeatable and he addresses the problem...I got my pump in 2 days along with install instructions and O rings. I pressure checked it and its spot on. Just passing along as many of us have gone in circles with this paint issue.

I will update as I get some hours on it, but I'm very pleased so far.

Fyi...he also buys your core which helps knock price down even more.

Did you ever run ethanol in your boat?

Thanks for sharing, this should help a lot of people save $ when the time comes to replace their pumps.

Glad there is a reasonably priced solution to a problem that should not exist...I've had fuel injected cars since 1988 and it all those years replaced exactly one fuel pump, on a '88 Toyota Camry that was 7 years old and had about 115,000 miles on it. In fact our old '98 Jeep is still running on the original pump!

BTW, last summer I just replaced my OE mechanical fuel pump...started to see a little gas in the yellow tygon overflow tube...it was then...30 years old! Bolted up a new Sierra pump so far so good. BTW the insides were pristine clean...years of using e-10 fuel. Same with my Quadrajet, the insides were very clean when I took it apart last summer to rebuild.

the other issue with electric pumps is terminals and resistance...because they are under more stress than an auto style pump that is in the tank and pushes gas to the EFI system...they have to pull it...so any reduction in system voltage due to resistance at the terminals...or air leaks....puts a stress on those pumps...
Coat Guard regs to not allow a push style system on boats...
So...every season it might be a good idea...to check the terminals...clean if needed...and check the voltage at the terminals...should be the same as battery voltage...if not...find out why....
