This is what is called the 'Facet' pump. I'm sure the one from MiniMania is
fine, but the same one from NAPA will be cheaper and still be the same one.
I've had one in my bugeye for 4 years, no problem.
Just be sure to get the one that has the low pressure range (~2-5 lbs).
There is a nearly identical one that produces too much pressure.
