fuel pump diaphragm
-
I had what I believe is a Stewart Warner 6 volt model 12-99 electric fuel pump. I bought it on ebay I think years ago from a guy who just took it off his car because he was going back to his mechanical pump, but it was working great when he took it off. I haven't needed it for years but I just went to use it, no pumping though it runs like a scalded dog. So I took it apart, checked all the little flappers and springs and they were all working correctly, put it back together and no fuel. I took it apart again a few times checking this and that when it suddenly dawned on my there is no diaphragm in the danged thing. It must have been a miracle pump when the seller pulled it off his car, either that or he lied to me. Anyway this leaves me in need of finding a diaphragm for my pump, Stewart Warner tells me it's obsolete so no parts from them. I know, I should just buy a new six volt pump but it's kind of cool having the old style pump I used to see on all the stuff I worked on in the fifties. I can also finish rebuilding my Hash fuel pump and stick the six volt electric from it onto my old truck. But I would like to find someone who still makes diaphragms for old pumps. I had a name from the list where I bought my manual kit from that I got off the forum but haven't been able to locate the name by searching the forum. Does anyone remember who makes the fuel pump rebuild kits?

Good luck!
