Electric fuel pump location

PostPost by: Jaybee » Sat Apr 27, 2013 6:10 pm

Couldn't seem to find a lot of info on pump location options on the site so here's mine. Although it sits behind the tank board it's also below the removable boot floor. So the non standard pump and filter can't be seen at either end of the car. John

All the electric pumps that I am aware of - with the exception of the old SU type - are "pushers" & not "pullers" & hence should be fitted as close to the tank as possible.

If you search a puller pump, give a look to HUCO fuel pumps : http://lewysco.com/catalogue/1415Pompes ... %20ndl.pdf

They have puller version.
As say a friend : it is reliable, because it is used on motor boat !

On my +2 the pumps been bolted to side the pedal box (RHD).

Looks like the pump available from Rdent. It has been fitted with a 90 degree elbow between pump and filter. So that the filter is running along the bulk head and joins nicely to the fuel hose.
'73 +2 130/5 RHD, now on the road and very slowly rolling though a "restoration"
