Where to order non-MMI parts? Canadians?
I have just rebuilt my fuel pump after ordering the kit from Moyer. After reading some more forums I'd like to add a fuel pressure gauge and polishing filter. Here's the problem - I can't find any parts!
I am in Collingwood, Ontario I have tried: Local Ideal Supply/Napa Local Carquest Local Canadian Tire Local Hose Supply Company Local Marine Supply stores (4 of them!) Marine Outfitters Binnacle I did find a couple items on amazon.ca but it's not exactly what I want. I'd like to find a 0-15 psi liquid-filled gauge like the JEGS one here: https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performa...41010/10002/-1 I'd also like to find a polishing filter like the Hasting 1/4" one here: http://catalog.hastingsfilter.com/Pa...partnumber=GF1 So, my question is, are there any Canadians that have a good online source for non-MMI parts? After the sticker shock of the exchange, shipping, and duty of my last MMI order, I'd really rather not order from the states! Cheers, Trevor |

Trevor, I found the liquid gauge to be a pain and unreliable. I went back to the $15 (US) Mr. Gasket brand.

If the issue is just the exchange rate, we can't offer much help there.... Bill Last edited by Administrator; 05-29-2018 at 07:56 AM. |

Thanks Greg. Looks like they don't have a website, but if I get desperate, I'll give them a call. Good to have options...
Thanks, Trevor |

Annual Order
Tkenopic
Cautionary note. I have found several, if not most automotive shops will claim a product they have has the exact same specs as original or MM parts, however I have experienced questionable results. As a fellow Canadian, I know the pain you feel getting anything purchased, and shipped from south of the border. To deal with that pain, I just accept the yearly order I place, as a cost of boat ownership. I always add one or two extra parts I may need down the road in a pinch, over and above regular maintenance (coil/impeller/gasket,ect) Not only have I got a reasonable spare parts inventory, I’m ok supporting our Host of this site - and am very appreciative of the support they offer.....but yes, losing 30 cents on the dollar is frustrating. Cheers Jimmy PS - to this day I regret not placing a order for a MM rebuilt , about 7 years ago when the Loonie was flirting with a even exchange rate. I’m waiting for 90cents plus, then I’ll place that call. Of course if MM were to have a Canadian Customer appreciation sale, I could be convinced to pull the trigger sooner

I just tried the Canadian Amazon and found the Hastings filters.
The GF2 (5/16” hose) https://www.amazon.ca/Hastings-Filte...gs+fuel+filter The GF1 (1/4” hose) https://www.amazon.ca/Hastings-Filte...rds=Filter+gf1 |

Thanks Tac
That's where I ended up getting the gauge and I used Princess Auto for the filter... |
