Its a FAKE!!!
* Look how the body is greyish and rough, the genuine Walbro's are smooth and shiny silver.
* The genuine Walbros also should come with an intallation kit to suit your car, not a generic installation kit as per that Ebay Auction.
* Real Walbros come with English instructions, the fake ones come with French/Spanish or something instructions.
There should be a sticky in the FOR SALE section that shows you how to tell the difference and they are easily spotted when you know what to look for :wink:

not all walbro's come with fitting kits!
buying from a wholeseller they sell kits with, filter and connection they dont sell them with hoses or instructions per kit..
you only get the instructions and soforth when you buy from a 'retail' shop...
heres some food for thought..
someone on ebay sells you a pump that they take a picture of a genuine one then they send you a fake.. if you werent clued up on the differences how would you know? i would recommend paying that extra 20-40 to buy from a retail shop where you have a warrantee and can see first hand before handig over some hard earned cash only to get a fake.

It certainly looks fake - there's no pic of the walbro logo on the pump either.
"165 Ltr per hour. 475 Hp" I thought they were 255l/hr ?? (my genuine, shiny, logo stamped, made in usa, one is anyway).
The fakeys are stamped with the Walbro insignia and GSS-342 numbers as well - the only way we can tell the difference at the moment is that the genuine Walbros have a shiny silver surface and are coated in oil. Everything you need to know is here: http://4gtuner.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3831 . Stay away from anything that doesnt look like the genuine item as indicated.
