Hi,
I found that some European Opel cars used same pump. I purchased years ago
one aftermarket pump to see if it works. Physical dimensions are same so it
fits. Earlier this year when I test fit it I decided to scrap it as it had
been on my shelf about 10 years. Ended up to purchase new mode as I mentio
ned earlier. It has worked flawless so far. Little higher pressure as they
advertise. I don't want to compromise with either ignition or fuel delivery
systems.

On the side of the pump is:

Someone at least 10 years ago IDed it and bought a bunch, as I remember. Se
veral of us bought them.
I guess it is a German after market=C2- Physically it is identical with t

Maybe someone remembers where they came from.

I purchased a second hand Pierburg pump from a car wrecker (Opel) that
looked to be exactly the same as the ones fitted to the Rotax engines. I
fitted the pump and started up. All appeared to be good but after
returning from a short text flight I found oil everywhere inside the
cowl! Don't compromise safety for a few extra dollars. It's not worth
the risk.
