Bit worried about getting jipped and putting in a sh*t box fake one. You guys had me really worried there. Im going to get 2 rubber cotton reel exhaust hangers and mount the pump onto them. Hopefully that should keep noise to a minimum. Ill double check that wiring to. Its as thick as the stock fuel pump wiring, its quite thick, but will need to confirm what fuse its running. The specs I have is that the pump pulls 15A max? You say 20A? This pump was actually $185 plus $15 freight. Its got a check valve fitted to the outlet but would need a banjo fitting to use it. Ive bought a speedflow check valve and suitable speedflow fittings for the inlet and outlet.Looking at it now, I really should of went with the PW unit. Its a tough looking piece of gear. I just didnt think that this would cost as much as it did. Poor man pays twice kinda scenario. Hindsights a wonderful thing.And since there isnt much work to be done on my Mini anymore I start finding jobs to do on the ute. I just cant help but pull cars apart and put em back together......!

F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 1m 21d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 03/03/08 12:51 PM Share Posted 03/03/08 12:51 PM Getting the factory pump out from underneath is easy (on a hoist). Disconnect the fuel pump relay and run dry. disconnect the fuel lines, drop the straps, unbolt the metal brackets & move the canister from the top. Shimmy the tank on an angle then get in over the top with a stubby phillips. twist teh pump 90 degrees on the way out so the float doesn't catch..Compressed air is a good idea to get rid of the crud prior to starting, as is a 1/4 tank of fuel.I've done 4 now. Takes ~1hr from start to running again.044/surge setup should have new wiring and relay but nice job none the less.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studs are isolated by rubber. So I reckon it should keep it nice and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
