Hi - I have a non standard 12v +ve earth fuel pump in my 1955 2litre series 1 and it has just expired. I believe the original one was a SU AUB79. These seem quite expensive, if I am going to buy a new one, is there a more reliable non-points version anyone can recommend?

Failing that has anyone got a decent 2nd hand unit they will flog to me?

Cheers

Mark

Hey Mark,
Long time no hear! Hope your doin' all right mate if you have time pop over to the Hertfordshire greenlane forum I tend to upset some peeps on there. I remember the old days when it was you and me patrolling the greenlanes around Hitchen every weekend we could squeese in. Its now exploded its now got Mahausive in the area and quite a good grioup it must be said! Jai

Dingocroft do them at a reasonable price, also a renovation kit if you get a duff one orff fleabay and rebuild it. (I think the moggie minor one is similar) Dingocroft (Penn Rental Service Ltd t/a) Fuel Pumps

Also, you can convert it to electronic, but not that cheap. https://www.holden.co.uk/displaypro...=0102&agName=SU+Fuel+Pump+Parts&pCode=015.471

If you'r not worried about originality but more on reliability , then look at mitsuba or bendix/facet as they are contactless , you need a low pressure pump 3-5 psi

Surely a diesel shouldn't have an electric pump?
