S2 Fitting fuel pump

[F908tim]

Anyone replaced one recently and remember the junctions???

Feed end looks easy enough with the big rubber pipe from the tank fitting over the pipe at one end of the pump with a jubilee clip, but the outlet end looks like it has a union on it that looks like it might be meant to revolve? Mine does not move of course and I am afraid to give it a smart tap without advice incase I am wrong and wind up breaking the junction with the plastic pipe leading to the fuel filter. Can anyone advise me please?
Another thought...when you undo the jubilee clip from the tank feed pipe and take it off the old pump do you need a cork handy as I guess otherwise the fuel just pours out of the pipe until it empties the tank?

Banjo union, comes loose when you loosen the end nut. Clamp the big tank pipe and you don't loose any fuel either.
All sorted. S2 pump came from Merlin Motorsport. Part OTP018. Out of tank pump listed for a Mercedes Benz 300 series. £55 + delevery £5 + VAT. Total £70.

Yep, but you will be happy to know I just bought the last one they had in stock! They thought they could locate more given a bit of time.
