The FRC series fuel pump is designed to supply fuel for internal combustion engine applications only. It is not intended or designed for continuous operation applications such as heater or stove systems.
 
And dont worry about the 1/4" ports, because 1/4" NPT is much larger than 3/8" hose barb, which is about the size of 1/8" MPT.

I cut the connector off an old LP, but if you dont have a bad one laying around I guess you might not want to cut it.

can you supply the connector?

Good point I forgot to mention. I will supply the correct connector making it a direct plug in. BUT, I have a dumb question: Will the orinintation of the plug matter? in other words is one wire hot and one ground? I can go put a test light on my truck to find out, but if someone knows the answer I'll go with that.
The connector is the same one I use on my Metrum Rod FSU
 
OK all the pumps are sold at this point assuming AK wants one. Let me know I'll hold it for you until I here from you.

Also most everyone knows I have the by pass fittings available. They allow you to hook onto you original lines without cutting them. Biggest advantage of this is you can go back to stock pump when needed. See link.

I will get with my supplier tomorrow and see when more are coming in. If anyone else is interested let me know and I'll keep you on the list.
 
Figures! I only just got my "5" installed a few months ago. Still, it is a great pump and I've not had an issue with it. I guess that I should validate pressures but never needed too. I'm keeping my eye out for a fuel pressure gauge I like to mount in the truck. In the meantime, I'll get my test gauge out once the Metrum Rod is in. That will be in a day or so.
 
Allright, got new pumps in hand now. I just have time to post this real quick. Since I got 7 in two more are available now if someone else wanted in on it. Will post a picture later, but overall it is exactly like an frb5 in size and shape.
 
Last one just sold. I will see about getting more very soon. Thank you to everyone that bought this time around. Will be sending invoices in a few hours.

Finally came out! Been waiting along time for this! I hope someone gets one has a fuel pressure gauge!

Makes me wonder if its nothing more than larger ports and stiffer spring. Perhaps they modifiied the pump piece inside a bit?

Would be great leroy to take one apart and take a FRB-5 apart and compare.

Take lots of pics!
