I researched this online and the general consensus is that starlite never weeps. It's a quality product produced by Eaton

If you're running 465 pumps then use the FC3's ability to use a pressure switch to activate the second pump only when it's needed. 465's running full steam all the time will heat the fuel a lot.

You'd probably be good with the 405...didn't think fore even offered the 465 after doing some testing they found out it was only 5% of an improvement over the 405 for double the cost

The 405's don't work on e85 and tend to self destruct themselves.

Sold a bunch of them. Teflon for sure, price is the same. starlite does weep.

You want it to match? Buy wire loom from Napa and cover it. That is what I do for customers.
