There are three basic models of Walbro pumps and for each there are three sub-models that only have different fuel line connections. The GSS242, GSS250, and GSS278 flow 190 lph. The GSS307, GSS315, and GSS317 flow 255 lph. The GSS340, GSS341, and GSS342 flow 255 lph and are made for high pressure configurations.
