Fuel pump oil seal.

PostPost by: terryp » Sun Jul 27, 2014 11:07 am

Does anyone know of where I can source the oil seal that hoes in the glass bowl type fuel pump. I googled it and there was a chap on a TR forum who just use to sell the seal. Unfortunately the link was dead as it was 4 years old.
Thanks
Terry

Thanks Stuart but Holdens - No
Anywhere else?

There is a kit on ebay that has it , but I don't really want to pay ?20 for 1 small seal

Cheers

Having spent ?20 on one seal I now discover that AC fuel pumps come in all sizes :oops:
The one on the left is the one out of my pump, the one on the right is my new one which is too small. I did try to fit it but they are such a b*****r to fit I might as well try to do it properly.

So the choice.....
Option 1 - source and fit new seal
Option 2 - fit new AC pump
Option 3 - fit new electric pump.
I have a slight concern over option 3 as I never like the idea of petrol pumping without the engine turning
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

If I go electric, I could fit an inertia switch.
On the pump side there appears to be two facet models at 1.5 to 4 psi

Has anyone fitted the black one without a pressure regulator?

Thanks
