Looking for Aftermarket Generator Fuel Pump

I need a new fuel pump for my 1997 Oman BGM generator. All I can find online is well over $200. I am looking for a more affordable aftermarket product. Any ideas?

    That's what happened to me. Didn't need the pump - needed new lines.

  • Take the fuel pump off and take it to a good NAPA in a bigger city. They will match it up pronto. NOT ALL NAPA'S are created equal

    I got this one after some research: Airtex E8016S. It's around $25-30. I never installed it, though. It turns out the fuel pump was okay on my generator.
  • Be advised that there are aftermarket fuel pumps, but they usually have a higher psi pressure than the Onan pumps. Not recommended to use the higher psi pumps. Doug
