Thread: Fuel pump for twin caby 3.5l

If it's the same ticker ticker as the old one it should be fine, If a solid state it should be fine.

Regards Philip A

I have no idea of the specs of the old one.

I usually put them on a couple of lengths of hose fill the hose on the fill side then lift it over the pump, drain it through the pump put both ends of the hose in a jerry of fuel and power it up.

Sometimes the preservative they put on them turns to wax and prevents the valves from working correctly.

Thanks Dave. I'll try that tomorrow.

I have this as a spare for my 101 2.5

This is the second one I have had - the first was given to another 101 owner with fuel pump problems and it powered his 101 Ok.

The one you have might be a bit high in psi but as the carbies feed excess fuel back to the tank you probably will not have any issues.

Give it a go and see what happens.

At approx 2.2 lts per minute,there is more than enough volume to run the vehicle......providing the pump works

Thanks Gary.
The new one I put on last week that won't pump is a Fedtro but not like the Fedtro in your link.


The Fedtro in the link looks like the Facet I bought today.

On one of overland trips the electric pump on one of the 110s died, after installing the spare one it was the electric wires turn to catch fir after a short circuit with the chassis (I don't know why their was no fuse on the electric circuit? I advise those of you having still 110 to install one).
We were in the middle of nowhere and the nearest village had no spare parts available.
The only option we found was an electric pump from a wrecked 6 cylinder Mercedes Benz (Not EFI), we installed it in the engine bay in line with the old disconnected one.
It worked fine showing no difference to the facet pump.

We had to manually connect the Merc pump by hand and disconnect it when we stopped the engine.

You can install an electric pump of old 8 cylinder american cars as well.
