Pondering this approach for a type 4 in my bug down the road.
Thanks in advance,

Ps last question before Xmas �� with regard to the hours discusses on the pumps website, are these rebuildable or does one need to send out for 10k hr intervals?

Hi Alex,
I wouldn't know if this pump can be used as a dry sump pump. Decided to drop the oil back into the engine fr the filler spout because it was convenient. There is way to much going on around the sump with this type of header. As for the pump being rebuildable? Don't know. This pump was suggested to be used be a engine builder friend. He has had good experience with them, with no failures.
