Wrong fuel pump?

Post

Back to the top
Hi guys,

I ordered a fuel pump like this


The one I received is gold… The same thing happened last year and I never got round to returning it. The push rod is too long on the gold one I'm sure of it. The last one made my carb flood.

Does anyone know if the old grey ones have been superseded?

Can you not take your fuel pump off and take a pic of it.
While your at it try to find the part number on it and let us know.  :thumbs:

Hi there, only just seen your reply. I didn't get the part number but here is a pic of the two. The one I took off is on the right. where the gasket is (just under the nozzles) is where it is leaking. It bubbles when the car is running lol. Pretty risky I'm sure.

My one started leaking recently toom in the same place, did up the bolts and it seemed to fix it temporarily. Going to fit the new pump at the weekend, is it a hard task to do?

I've tightened the bolts on mine too, it seems fine so I'm gonna just keep my eye on it.

It's easy to replace them, just take the fuel pipes off and it's two bolts.

Ive just bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/…_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 as mine was on its way out struggling to start and leaking a bit, just fitted it and its works really well and looks exactly like the original one fitted with a removable diaphragm

Fitted mine today after work :) runs so much better and my MPG has increased too :thumbs:

The gasket on the old one had all split around the screws so was leaking out of there
