I've had issues with my BG 280 fuel pump losing prime. I sent it in over the winter in '07 to the tune of $125+ shipping to have it rubuilt---only to have the same issue happen still in '08.

Not to mention---ever try collecting Contingency $ from BG??? I'm STILL waiting............

Making the switch this winter!

I have had the same problems with Grant products
I even bought a new pump and had it do the same thing
I sent the used one back for a rebuild and it came back doing the same thing
So that is a used one a new one and a rebuilt one
When I called the answere was they were having no problems like that and I was the only one who had called
What I found out if I opened the bleed screw and pulled the spring out it would pop and all would be ok for that weekend the next weekend I would have to do the same

The pump is well below the fuel cell in case anyone was wondering.....

Aeromotive stuff works right the 1st time, lasts a long time and they pay contingencies on time. Hats off to Kyle and the rest.

Product Engineering makes a great pump too.

I have a Aeromotive pump, filter and Regulator on my bracket car been on there 3+ years with never a problem. All I do is change the filter element before the season starts and never a problem.

Good idea to support the sponsors who support the sport (Aeromotive).... I've had my "issues" w/ BG stuff too. Thank God for eBay!

Check online. I bought a rebuild kit for my BG280 on ebay for 20 bucks. I run a BG return style regulator and i've never had a problem. The pump its constructed like an oversize holley "blue" but its never let me down. I personally like the Mallory 140/250 style pumps and regulators. And the pump itself is a good piece...bearings no bushing.

I thought I would try to add some humor to this. Mail just came a few minutes ago and there was the Oct 3 issue of Natl. Dragster. When you all get yours look at the back cover its a Barry Grant ad and at the top it reads "Throw-Away" or Race today? They must be talking about throwing away their pump so we can go racing. LOL!
