Battery Fill Pump

[Wayne R]

I was unable to post to the old thread due to the date of the thread.

I just replaced my battery fill pump with one I bought on Ebay for $16 including shipping. It was listed for an 81-84 Saab 900S part #251-955-651-MY. Direct replacement works good. the box also had 100-955-002 Manufacturer is Meyle.

After reading about some expensive replacements for the battery fill pump a while back I decided to remove the pump and replace it with an outboard motor gas squeeze bulb. Works good, cheap, no maintenance and it qualifies as exercise!

Htg3,
I had read your previous post and the squeeze pump was my back up plan. I felt $16 including shipping was a decent price and it is readily available.

Wayne R. I think you did good. Being a boater, I had a spare bulb in my garage so it was cost effective and handy. I don't know whether filling the batteries with gasoline was such a good idea though. I'll let you know.
JUST KIDDING! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

Happy Holidays

Another inexpensive replacement if the OEM system fails is a windshield washer pump bought from Pep Boys, JC Whitney, etc. I rigged one for my golf cart we keep on our winter RV lot.
