Thread: Replacement fuel pumps research

the second unstated but probabley more important reason for putting fuel and a restritction on the the outlet is.....

if its there as a back up pump incase the primary fails you now you know it actually pumps and doesnt just make acoustically pleasing whirrring noises...

Imagine how annoyed youd be if you did all the work to replace it in a nice aircon/heated workshop, filled the tank with fuel (with a suitable draining receptical on hand if needed) only to find out the pump whirrs but doesnt make any pressure so now you have to go get another pump (which is just conveniently on the shelf behind you in the parts store) so now you have to do all that work all over again... (been there...)

now imagine that your in the middle of nowhere youve got an imminant storm warning and instructions that the smart people are going to be elsewheresville in an hour or 2 youve screwed the pump in got it all hooked up and..... nada.... your nearest backup spare parts place is who knows how far away (and probabley closed). (havent been there but Its not outside of feasable knowing my luck)

Anybody know of any alternative fuel pump options for TD5 owners?
