Lift pump con

My lift pump packed up a few months ago so taking on board the standard advice I did'nt go for the cheapest option, I went for a mid range pump called simply "Quality aftermarket" so last week I had all the symptoms of lift pump failure again so I thought, ok, you get what you pay for and I bought the most expensive one this time, nearly twice the price Delphi brand.

They were EXACTLY the same, the only difference was a delphi sticker on one of them, I checked, there were exactly the same small imperfections in the casting molds, from the same factory. So sometimes you DONT get what you pay for unless you think a delphi sticker is worth £15!!

It turns out it wasn't the lift pump at all

I'm going electric when the mechanical one packs up, what died then?

So what you are telling us is that it's all fur coat and no knickers?

Ah ha, you not got a sedimentor on the line from the tank to the lift pump?

I had a random notion of fitting one of those in line bulb pre-filters under the boot floor inspection plate to stop crud getting to far up the lines.

Yeah, I might do that.

Good to see you’ve resolved a problem for next week

No sedimenter on a 90. But you can get a nice barrel filter to sit under the seat. I will look in the spares box for you.
Facet barrel pumps have an inbuilt removable filter. But won’t stop the crap going up the pipe.
