With my limited experience, still think a gear pump the best for this application
Think Bosch is stuck protecting their patents and that piston pump.
Screw pumps can provide much higher PSI's and GPH's 24/7 and deal with all kinds
of cruddy fluids.
If I recall the cost factors for a screw pump right... you are into mucho mooola.
The part have to sell for $200 or so x factory.
That means Bosch can afford to spend $50 per unit to make it.
Yup, but there might be some out there with less margin than the industrial
level of duty cycle.
Also, my background is industrial, so the margins and duty cycle are
mandated in the 24/7 range and some times 200%-300% duty for short
time periods
But IMHO, think penny wise pound foolishness playing too large a part here
Wonder how much more you folks would pay to NOT have this problem(s)
with the fuel pumps...that is a question they should also be asking...
