Tired of those cheap stock parts washer pumps failing from petroleum-based solvents? In this video, I replace a failed pump with a universal 12V fuel pump and add a PWM motor speed controller for full variable flow control—making this 20-year-old parts washer better than new.
This is the type of pump I should have used in the first place in this parts washer pump DIY upgrade project. As DIY'ers, we are always learning :)

I’m a lot less savvy than you though. In a nutshell, just need to wire the pump to a 9v wall connector, secure the pump to the basin , and rig an adapter for the pump to the goose neck, and it should work just fine yea? The speed controller being entirely optional.
Want to make sure I’m not missing something in my ignorance.
