T&T: Recommended Electric Lift Pump?

Hi all,

I've completed the day-tank installation on my old trawler, and have a new 
problem. The new tank is located low in the hull, and doesn't enjoy the same 
head pressure as the old service tanks. I want to find and install an aux 
lift pump, to supply and compliment the on-engine pump. I'm looking for 
suggestions from list-members for a reliable low-pressure electric fuel pump 
that delivers ~ 60GPM.

My new day tank has 1/2" pipe/hose, a WIX primary water sep filter and Racor 
500 secondary. The engine is an early 70's Cummins V-470M. Lift height is 
about 18 inches from day tank to on-engine fuel pump. Engine manual says she 
needs 52GPH at no more than 8IN HG...

Thanks in advance!

Michael Bragg
