Post Will this work?

Can you tell me if this will work on our VE pump and is it a good price?

And will this work on our pump?

Here is the parent page.

Would there be any advantage of grinding a custom cam plate with a different profile?

I have seen several posts over the years that refer to a VW shut off solenoid and the fact that they will work on our VEs. It looks like it's the same as ours - the only way to be sure would be to purchase one and compare it.

The VW fuel cut-off solenoid will work with our mess. Been there, done that.

And they're usually much less expensive.

Yah, if you like paying 9 bucks plus shipping for a 1/2" nut that has been ground out.

I have a VW shut off solinoid in my truck and I believe that it's the same application that you linked to, mine was $10 too.
