I like the electric fuel pump because it refills the bowls quickly on hot days
or after long periods between drives without cranking the starter. I also like
it because when I ran the stock oil filter, it was easy to remove the entire
canister through the area vacated by the stock pump (now I'm running a spin on
filter). I also like it as an anti-theft measure. I have a hidden switch for
mine, and if someone were to drive my car away, it wouldn't run very far before
it ran out of gas.
