Review: Works well in my boat application. - I purchased this pump as a replacement on my 2003 Supra Santera with electronic fuel injection. We were experiencing alternating power loss and surge at high rpms under load. Replacing the old pump completely fixed the problem. Ease of installation depends a lot on your application. On my boat it's a bit challenging, but not too bad. The desertcart listing for this part calls it an "In-Tank" fuel pump. Carter's own website explicitly says it is not. I was totally confused by the listing and had to do some research to clarify before buying. I noticed in the other reviews that a few people had trouble with the lead wire retention approach. It took me a while to figure it out. The assembly instructions are not very clear. There is a shallow wide slot in the metal housing directly under the plastic insulator where the lead wires are attached. Check out the pictures. I wound up using needle-nosed pliers to push the retention clip into the slot. Once seated, it seems to be a solid retention method.
Review: Great fuel pump - My pump came with all the needed hardware. I read a few reviews before buying. I replaced my boat's mechanical fuel pump because two summers in a row the pump failed! My boat engine is a 351W so not a lot of room to do the install. I lock wired the terminal holder in place and reshaped it to hold the electrical connectors on. If you turn the pump up upside down you will find the +/- markings. My carter pump is very quiet, but of course with the V-8 running, who cares about fuel pump noise!!! Hopefully this helps someone who is on the fence about purchasing and or converting over to the12V (P4389).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality fuel pump
*by A***R on January 13, 2023*

I use 2 of these pumps for a fuel polishing machine of my own making. The pumps move the diesel through a pair of Racor 500 filter/separator units. The pumps are quiet and deliver fuel consistantly with low amp draw. They do all I could ask of them.
