I haven't taken the cover off the genset yet. Should I presume the "original location' of the pump is inside the genset or mounted elsewhere and was it a oem fuel pump?

Booster

Was looking at the 300w unit Samlex also has. It does have a slightly larger footprint [6.1 x 9.69 x 2.58] but I think it'll do.
