Default HRC or Walbro??

hi all,

Need to get a new fuel pump Monday before It gets mapped, so was just wondering if it will be better to get a Walbro or HRC?

Cheers

walbro 255 with out a doubt. ive had them and never an issue. i've heard romours of the hrc having problems with the out let pipe not having a flanged end, so the rubber hose doesn't get the tightest seal and has lost pressure n leaked due to that...

Too many reported walbro problems to chance it.... HRC trusted by RCM. Good enough recommendation for me...
