Is it leaking oil or leaking fuel?

All B18, B20 and B30 mechanical fuel pumps are interchagneable.

The ebay fuel pump is all that is currently available new, except for the occasional new old stock fuel pumps.

Unfortunately, those new fuel pumps have several problems. 1st the check valves are crap and often putting out over 5 psi and therefore need a fuel pressure regulator. 2nd, quite often the screws holding the top onto the base become loose and require re tightening and lastly, it's not unusual for the outlet hose barb to fall off as they are only Super Glued in and not properly peened. Recently, 1 of my customers told me the inlet hose barb fell out on him from 1 of these crappy fuel pumps.

Can you supply a picture of your fuel pump?
