I've used those on my gassers and diesels with good results.. 

I had one on my WVO for a while, but I suspect it didn't enjoy the heat as it died pretty quick...

I didn;t use the screw in filter they sent though... I think it was actually causing some restriction..

"FLOW: 10GPH @ 9 V STARTED"

That seems on the low side of things to me, especially on a hopped up diesel

all i see is 10 gallons per hour which is significantly more fuel that i think i can burn in an hour ...
what does that @ 9 V started mean?

Don't forget the VE pump sends MOST of the fuel back down the return and only injects a small amount.  The extra fuel is used to cool the pump.

I googled them, didn't take long to find a WVO forum where they were being discussed in detail. Thats the old model, noisy & 10% failure rate. There is a newer plastic shelled unit that apparently fails less & is still noisy.
