Mercruiser 120 Replacement Fuel Pump

[alboudreau]

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help.
This is a multiple part questions:
1 - What is the difference between a marine fuel pump for the Mercruiser 120 and the same fuel pump in an automotive application?
2 - Does anyone have the automotive part number for that fuel pump or know what vehicle it could be cross referenced to?
3 - Would there be any harm is using the automotive version of said fuel pump? (considering the marine version is over 3 times more expensive?)

Thank you for your input!

1 - What is the difference between a marine fuel pump for the Mercruiser 120 and the same fuel pump in an automotive application?

They are designed to NOT leak fuel into the bilge if parts in the pump itself fail.

2 - Does anyone have the automotive part number for that fuel pump or know what vehicle it could be cross referenced to?

Do NOT use automotive fuel and ignition system parts.

3 - Would there be any harm is using the automotive version of said fuel pump? (considering the marine version is over 3 times more expensive?)

Explained above

Yes I know marinas and on line parts place list them at $160.00.
