It has the new generation diaphragm that is more resistant to Ethanol.

Same 1 Full Year Warranty as a new $4,500 part.  Newly remanufactured units are sold by other sellers at $900 or more.

INSTALLATION KIT (used, polished OEM fittngs seen in the photos) are not included.  They are available in another listing.  

REMANUFACTURE VERIFICATION

You will receive "before and after the rebuild and testing" pictures from the unit you will be receiving with the serial number plate and numbers in full view. You can see that we really did open up the unit to perform a full rebuild.  There is no question that the work was truly done.  No other seller does this- regardless of price.  Enjoy driving with the peace of mind that you've got a unit that's truly been rebuilt and doesn't have the worry of failure that an original 25+ year old unit has. 

EASY CORE REFUND PROGRAM

With your order, we'll include a Pre-Paid shipping label.  Just re-wrap your old unit in the same packing bag and place it in the same box as what your order came in.  Seal the box and tape the label to the box.  Then just drop it off in the "pre-paid bin" at the Post Office (no standing in line!) If we can use it as a Core for rebuilding, we will refund you up to the Core Value.  If we can't, we'll send it back to you at our expense.


REAL FACTS ABOUT "USED" PARTS AND Team QuixQualityParts.com

Please don't have unreal expectations or be fooled by exaggerated claims by other sellers. All "Used or Pre-owned" fuel distributors, tested or not, will always have a high risk of failure.  It is not possible to have a great deal of certainty how much life is left in a 20+ year old used unit.  All of them have accumulated a large amount of debris (crud) internally that can come loose, clog the unit and leave you stranded.  The Ethanol additives in gasoline today have eaten away at the diaphragms causing them to release fragments of the diaphragm adding to the crud build up.  These overly weakened diaphragms have already ruptured or will fail very soon.  When the used unit fails, add in the cost of a tow and a mechanic and that "cheaper" used unit will end up costing you many times more than a Newly Remanufactured Unit.  This is why we can no longer include a meaningful warranty with used units so we have decided to stop selling them.  Only a truly New or Newly Remanufactured unit will have almost no risk of failure for a long time.  You can depend on my extended warranty for protection. Our 1 YEAR FULL WARRANTY is the longest on eBay.  We have also been a seller for almost 20+ years with a perfect customer service record among reasonable buyers.  Overall, our record is only slightly less than perfect if you include the nutty ones.
