Dave, A word of warning: the integral pump is very practical, but… they tend to leak, eventually. There is a maintenance kit available, but I did not have much success with stopping the leak and, eventually, I replaced the filter with the Racor SNAPP (23106-30 - Disposable Fuel Filter / Water Separator – SNAPP™ Series | Parker NA<https://ph.parker.com/us/en/snapp-disposable-fuel-filter-water-separator-racor/23106-30>). It is a complete assembly that you replace, but it comes with “quick connect” adapters for the fuel lines.
It comes with a plastic bowl, so if you are concerned with fire resistance, it is not good. But I subscribe to Andrew’s theory that if the fire is about to melt the bowl, you have probably bigger problems to worry about. I, too, buy it from the “industrial channels” - a local CAT dealer. If you motor a lot, the replaceable filters (like the 500) might be a better deal, but I put about 15 h on the engine a year, so the solution is pretty cost effective.

I have not installed it yet. Check industrial channels for this as I purchased mine for about 2/3 the price of an identical unit through marine channels. This unit is oversized for our little engines and though it seemed large at first it will install neatly in windstar. (33-2). The model I chose has a glass bowl and integral priming pump.
