Fuel pump ?

[paulspray]

Went for drive, as it was so nice today, went over a bump, all of a sudden no power !

Now when I key-on, there is no buzz from the fuel pump !

Any advice ? Where to start looking ?

Where is the fuel pump fuse ?

Where is the fuel pump ?

How big a job to swop it ?

Any other advice, much appreciated

Thanks.

How do I get to the fuel pump ?

[paulspray]

Cheers looks like I'll be giving it a go !

More Help please.
When I key-on I get voltage at the pump for about 2 seconds.
I think that sounds about right (when measured across both pins of the pump.)
(normally a 2 second "buzz" at key-on.)

But I only get 6-7 volts ( and no buzz )
Also 6 - 7 Volts when cranking

So now I'm not sure if the pump IS dead ( and measured voltage is normal )
or
pump is ok and the voltage is too low ?

Any thoughts ?

cheers

Cheers,
Yep, I think that will be the next thing, stick a garenteed 12V on the pump and see what happens.
I need to get the wheel off so I can see what I'm doing properly, and for that I need a decent scissor jack, my day to day cars have naff cantilever jacks.

So, it is the pump, it's jammed, why is it jammed ? a flake of Alu jammed in the pumping element, why is it there because the fuel filter has partly collapsed !

The element that is in there is a nylon gauze with nylon "frame" when I google the sytec replacement filter I get images of a a paper or metal element. Anyone else had theirs in bits recently ?

With either type of filter there doesn't appear to be any seal be seal between the clean and dirty side, I short I don't like the design, anyone use anything different ?

Thanks

Andy, why is that ?
Because the original filter is too restrictive on the suction side ?

Anyway I'm not upgrading power for now, so I won't be flowing more fuel.

[paulspray]

Yeah, cheers Andy, I think the right solution for me is the 8 micron paper element on the suction side with the standard pump, the local parts shop says they can get me a pump for £100, which doesn't sound too bad ? ?

[paulspray]

Filter news ! So apparently the early sytec / FSE bullet filers had the Nylon gauze, not interchangeable with the paper or metal element, so for now it's a new replacement Nylon gauze ( 7 quid ) but going to look out for a better set up.

Andy, I'd take the standard pump off your hands for "postage plus" if you drop me a PM I'll arrange it with you.
