    I like the old style Autopulse fuel pumps. I don't like the look of the round or square electronic units.

    I used to buy kits for the Autopulse pumps but can't find one any where now. Anybody know where I can get a diaphragm or kit for an Autopulse. I haven't opened one for a long time. Maybe the diaphragm is make-able...

    The good ones have a copper diaphragm. It is not reproduced.

    It looks like the really old ones have the copper or br*** bellows type. I'm pretty sure the newer ones 40's-70's had the rubber diaphragm. They must have made millions of them but It's weird that kits aren't out there even on ebay....

    I bought one that came with a rebuild kit. Guess I was lucky. Don't know if I will ever use it but it sure looks cool.

    You might try a Piper Aircraft parts supplier. I had a 1967 Piper Cherokee 180C back in the
    80's that had an Autopulse 12V electric fuel pump as factory equipment. I recognized it from
    one that I had on my high school hot rod in the early 60's.

    Could we discuss a little more on these types of "autopulse" pumps which i ***ume are different from other types of electric pumps?
