Hello. Just replaced tired fuel pump and before I toss the old one, thought Id ask if it has any value for someone on the forum?

Worth $200-300 on EBAY

Everything from a w113 has value; contrary to some posts here...

Chris,

Were you referring to the electric fuel pump near the gas tank, or the mechanical fuel injection pump on the side of the engine?

Hi Meyer.

The electrical fuel pump mounted at rear under gas tank.

I reused the mounting bushings as they were still good otherwise it is just the unit itself. I kept burning the associated fuses so diagnosis led me to pump being burned out. Replaced with new one.

At this point, I can give no one an indication of "what is wrong with it" other than its inoperative. After doing some research, I see that only remanufactured ones are now available for around $800. I figure its worth $100 to someone shipped and they can rebuild?

Chris, as Tyler mentions it is good for parts or at worst you can take it apart and see how it functions.  You may discover what is wrong with it and be able to repair it for future use or sale.
