Ron,
Bosch now have a replacement pump and they told me number was 0 580 454 999. I have not yet seen this for sale here.
This is the link Bosch sent me:
http://www.automotive-tradition.de/en/teile/media/Produkt_Profil_EKP_0580464999_en.pdf
and this is from their German site:
http://www.automotive-tradition.com/de/teile/media/Produkt_Profil_EKP_0580464999_de.pdf
These links should both be for the 0 580 464 999 pump, but they bring up different documents with different order numbers!
Confused yet? All I know if that there should be a new D-Jet pump available.
I was able to buy a Bosch pump a year or so ago. I checked with Bosch Germany and they knew nothing about it. But they checked with Bosch USA and they said that it was a pump that they had sourced. I believe it is used on Nissan 280Zs and some other cars. I have it new in box still.

Some have used cheap aftermarket pumps, but most of those lack the internal pressure relief that protects from having the rubber hose connectors blow off in a case when FPR or return line is blocked. (see drawing in this message:

By the way, I have heard that many D-jet pumps make some noise - Filling the tank sometimes quietens mine down. I am still running on the original.
Lets know if you find anything.
