Sill tank fuel pump

[dmdigital]

My Defenders got a 90L sill tank and a 110L main tank. The last time I went to pump from the 90L sill tank back to the main it took the poor little pump over 10 hours. Had a look at everything looks clean, pump is same age as car 8 y.o. and is basically clogged up inside or stuffed. It's also a sealed unit.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement unit?

Never had to look at these things before.

its only a transfer pump.....not pumping any pressure.......



i would go the nearest wreckers and just get any electric external fuel pump you find......
and run a fuel filter before the pump.......


or....get 2 and have one as a spare........

I had that in mind and have been looking on the web, the only requirement is that it's OK with diesel. Unfortunately the nearest wrecker is a very, very long way away (i.e. plane flight).

I will definitely be putting a filter in line there though.

theres gotta be a dumped car around somewhere......

even old cars had electric fuel pumps......mostly the jap makes.....
my '71 capella had electric pump......

Yep, there's dumped cars around, but they're mostly stripped of EVERYTHING usable.

I'm keeping an eye out though as there are a lot of wrecks happen and, like you mentioned, they are all jap cars. So if I can get an old fuel pump I will.

Just buy a facett solid state new, 70 bucks and it will be fine with diesel, I had them on my chev diesel rangie with sill tanks;)

Don't bother with second hand ****, its not worth the hassle
