Fuel Pump connections...

[Bassfiend229hp]

Well, it looks like my fuel pump has died - anyone know what the inlet and outlet connections are on a Chim fuel pump?

Are there different versions of the Bosch 044 pumps?

Yup - from what I was able to check last night in the dark the pump should be getting power ... at least from the passenger footwell end. I need to get the back wheel off and check the pump end next but I suspect the pump is shot.

Cheers - just found them on eBay and they're £87.50 which isn't bad but I put a 'Best Offer' in anyway - never hurts to see.

Do you know what is the inside diameter of the pipes from the tank and up to the engine bay? Is it 12mm and 8mm? I'm presuming I can just unbolt the adapters from the old pump but just in case they're seized it might be nice to get new ones for a quick and painless swap-over.

Best offer of £75 agreed ... so I guess that's that choice made ...

Why not cut out the middle man and test/power up the pump direct

I will do when I get back home in the daylight ... its just I have very limited facilities here as my tools and stuff are all in storage.

Pump does *NEED* doing anyway - as does the starter as it fails in hot weather so I may as well just do them and be done with it.

You don't need the wheel off to get to the pump, it's on the bottom part of the chassis and easy to play with from underneath.. as I found out when I pulled the live off it whilst driving across some grass

I have to say that's what I was wondering may have happened ...

I've been looking to replace the pump though for quite a while ... it would just be easier at my mates where we can get it into the air rather than by the side of the road where I live.
