I do like that large horizontal filter.

Thanks for posting all this detailed info, lads. Much appreciated.

Great info.
I always carry a spare pump, and have had to use them a few times now.
Need to purchase one for the new car now and at $55 you can't go wrong.

E-Bay inv. shows them as being the same.

At that price it won't hurt to have one roll around in the back for a couple of years will it.


I suppose it would be prudent to briefly put 12v across it, just to make sure at least the motor runs ok before packing it away.

I ordered mine last Sunday on E-Blag. It was acknowledged as a sale. Fine.
Two days later I queried them re not getting a tracking number which they said they would send.


They claimed Pay_Pal payment had not gone through & was "Pending" WTF! No explanation & sufficient funds were available. ???

Eventually it was posted 'Express Post' yesterday & I was supplied a Tracking Number. Hooray sez me.

Checked often but it was not showing on AP's Data base. Huh?

I chased it up again today & after to-ing & fro-ing I'm told by the supplier it had been delivered to my PO Box.


Long-ish story short. AP do issue a tracking No. on the parcel, BUT, it doesn't go on the data base. WTF!
Seems only 'Express Post Platinum' gets recorded on there & that is a Courier delivery anyway.

So, despite the supplier stating that they give a tracking no. it is superfluous as it isn't customer accessible on Express Post.

With me?

I have advised them of this as it seems that they may be under an illusion that it can be tracked.

Generally, other than the above it was good service & Pay-Pal created a delay for some unknown reason. Something new is it?


Just hope I don't need it now, but it is cheap insurance if I do one day.

I ordered mine and received it within two days.
No problems as all - for $55 its a great buy to have as a spare.

Cheers
Dave.

I would have got mine overnight as well.
It was the muckin' about that dragged it out.

Bad luck if my old one was fritzed & I was waiting for a replacement.

The last sentence in my e-mail was

**** NB Have you been able to determine what the 'Pay-Pal Payment Pending' was all about yet? That accounted for more delay & as I mentioned, I have not struck this before. Is it something new?

Their reply was "Thank you,
Regards
Chris".

So not much help at all. I just hope they weren't playing funny buggers.

I've just begun to experience problems on petrol and I think you've just saved me a lot of time... this weekend I should get a chance to investigate & I'll be checking the integrity of the wiring before diving in too deep ( I have what sounds to be the same tank arrangement)

On the return leg the car would not run on Petrol (fuel pump not working), and in Port Augusta, I fitted a Comodore fuel pump in-line without removing the pump in the tank. That worked fine and I was able to continue to the Flinders Ranges for a scenic detour.


When I got home I discovered that the LPG installer had cut the fuel pump feed wire to extend it to the new aux fuel tank position. The wire had about 5 connections on it and none were soldered! I replaced the wire and the in-tank pump worked again. However I decided to leave the comodore pump in situ, as storing it would probably cause the internals to dry out and fail.


This mod now gives me the peace of mind that I have a back up fuel pump, that I know can draw through the tank pump if required.

If you're doing long distances or remote areas, for the extra $100 it's worth having a 2nd pump working in tandem.

ERmmm.. no it wouldnt but I wouldnt want it rolling around. Wrapped in grease proof paper with a goodly amount of preservative grease and in a dustproof box would be my call and I wouldnt just run 12v through it Id at least give it some fuel to suck on and a little pressure to operate against as running those pumps dry even for a short time is enough to make you a $55 paper weight.
