Bosch 040 Fuel Pump Install

[Molloy]

Hey guys Im going 2 install my bosch 040 intake pump on the weekend, for those of you who have fitted one is it a easy job? will anything have to be modified to make the new unit fit or is it a straight swap?

Cheers all

Anyone?

Never done an 040 in a falc, but the Walbro 34 series is fairly straight forward

[Molloy]

Would you know if the two units are close to the same size?

I was told that the bosch would not fit in my ute, and to use the walbro. u should just be able 2 mod the fuel holder though.

Cheers boys, I hate modding bits to make stuff fit

who is running this pump in there falcons? anyone?

Think you will find that most people are using a Walbro (specifically the GSS340 or GSS341) for an intank replacement.

Those that are using a Bosch (usually the 044 as opposed to an 040) have it mounted externally as part of a Surge tank setup.

Yeah was just on ebay then and you can get a kit for a XR6T using the GSS341 pump for $141, Think I will do that and use my 040 in a surge tank setup later on,

Thanks for the input lads

If your looking at grabbin one on ebay, just make sure that you are purchasing from a reputable buyer. It has been made known that there are some non genuine copies floating about.

It might be worth paying the extra couple of $$ to purchase one off who you think is likely to do your tuning. Least then you have some product backup / gaurantee's etc.
