Fuel pump repacement. california or not

[jarporte]

Hey all

so my Fuel pump is dead. trust me I have done a lot of trouble shooting and it is the pump.

I have a 2005 Mazda 6 2.3L.

when I call for a new one they ask if I need the "California" one or not. on my hood is a sticker that says "this vehicle conforms to California regulations applicable to gasoline fueled 2005 model year. New LEV-II SULEV passenger cars and to US EPA regulations applicable in California. This vehicle has also been certified as a PZEV by California Air resources board"

so does this mean I need the more expensive one that runs in California? and I would love to know what is the difference between the one that runs for the rest of the country and California.

any advice would be great. I have ordered it and have two days before it comes in

thanks
Jared

Yes, you have the California model. The other style would have no mention of the state of CA on it. I do not know the particular differences between the 2 styles.
