Bosch or Hella? There are Bosch and Hella branded versions of these and they are the same. (See the 2nd picture of them side by side.) It's not uncommon for large OEM suppliers to have duplicates of the same tooling in multiple countries, and that seems to be the case here. Country of origin varies with both brand names; The Hellas we currently have are Chinese made; the Bosch's we currently have are European made (unlike some Bosch fuel pumps sold elsewhere which are Chinese). The Bosch version is twice the price. Is it worth the difference? We sell both so the choice is yours. (The Bosch is linked below.) We have not seen any difference at all in peformance or reliability, and needless to say both are top quality brands.
Most importantly, either one is a HUGE step above the aftermarket ones sold elsewhere, which are generic Chinese made and tend to be loud and/or fail prematurely. We won't sell those ones, and there's no reason to buy one considering how cheap a genuine Hella is.
Recommended: If your rubber fuel pump mounts are old and brittle, this is a good time to replace them to prevent fuel pump noise/vibration. They are linked below. (Order 2.)
