Can anyone recommend a good pump (elect) mine died it had many miles.

I know it sounds nutty but has anyone tried an automobile small fuel pump or is that to far in left field?

I tried the automotive windshield washer pump too. It lasted less than one season. I have had the best luck with Hangar 9 (believe it or not)!

I use a sonic tronic X. Have been using it about 12 years. It is just starting to get hard to prime. Works fine other than that. I am going to order a new one. I see heliproz has them.

I have one of the SLimline 'Boxxer' pumps. Its just about 3 months old. Works well, but seems to be a little slower than the old Kavan hand-crank pump it replaced.
