Fuel Pumps

I'm after another tank for track day use.

Is the fuel pump from a 748 the same as/or suitable for use on a 996sps?

No point in using the 748 one if it can't supply enough juice.

Er sorry Dibs, but i think you will find that 012 and 012ss are less durable than 010.

020 is more durable than 010, but not as grippy. I think 010 is good compromise between grip and wear.
