Default Inline fuel pump

Not sure where this should go, feel free to move it. I'm looking for an inline fuel pump that can support up to 45psi, to supply a 80horse 500cc 4 stroke motor. The catch is the motor is running on ethanol. I haven't been able to find any pumps small enough. Most of the pumps I've found are for 1000hp+ applications and draw way too much current. Any idea where to look?

Thanks!

MSD makes a pump your can get from Jegs or Summit that is about $95 I think. That about the cheapest fuel pump that I have found for a pump the will do high pressure.

Is this the one you are talking about? It looks great, but I'm not sure its ethanol compatible.

Ya, thats it. Are you running strait ethanol, or E85? I would say you'd be fine with ether. Ethanol is not nearly as corrosive a Methanol, but I think it will run either fuel. Most fuel pumps will state that they are NOT ethanol compatible.
