Thread: fuel pump for Series III

if it were me i would be fitting a 5/16th electric unit, costs about 150 bucks from repco and then a little wiring ... if you need quick..

Doesn't the series 3 army vehicles already have an electric fuel pump??? if not, mine does, and although mine is of questionable health, it works ok. you can basically fit whatever you like, but you should be able to get one for about $50.

thanks for the replies

yep it is an original electric pump.
no lage spare parts places round here (Eden NSW) and the small places are only carrying modern in-tank pumps in stock so i can't see before i buy
anyway there is a small wrecking yard i can try.

i'll post the result

Hey another newie !!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Surely a VK commodore electric pump would be available at one of the auto shop(s) as they are external and fairly common. It should adequately serve the 2.6L Rover motor.

Maybe call Autobarn/mycar, super¢heap and get one sent from somewhere else. I had a set of tie rod ends for the Mazda sent from Brisbane to Rowena after a three phone calls as neither Narrabri or Moree had any in stock. I had the parts 2 days later.

Hey HS! You at Rowena? Damn it's a small world, i used to work on Iffley Station for years, used to hit Rowy every friday night [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] til the pub lost it's license and i had to go to Colly.

That was my home "sniffley" then I opted for a sea change. Campfire reminisce that would be, though I have been meaning to get back to the old haunt. I suppose the other LR nut is still on the station ?

The pub lost it's licence ??? 8O That's a shame, that was a great little spot, even if the pool room was a little small. I never mastered the 2" pool cue but it did stop the windows getting broken. They used to cook a great steak though and as much vegies as you could eat.

The world gets smaller and smaller! When were you on Iffley? It's been quite a while for me, left there back in '96 (when Colly Farms still owned it), after that i came out here to the mines. You're not refering to Greg the workshop boss who had the swb 2a with the 253 fitted? That was a wild rig 8O He had to weld up the diffs i think but other than that it was pretty bloody tough.
Got many good memories of that pub, forgot about the pool table though that was a bit of a challenge [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] and the tucker was great. For a while there we had a real bastard of a cook so we used to take every opportunity to go to Rowy and get some decent tucker [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
