Can anyone tell me the part number of the bosch fuel pump in an M400 or the motorsport one that delivers a bit more than that please.

I need one quick and the factory won't tell me and Broad is on holiday! banghead

PM me please as its not fair to broadcast it on here.

Many thanks
Greg

Just out of interest how much are the factory quoting?


If anyone's interested Plans have just done a mod on my car that gets around the problem with not being able to track the car below the 1/4 full mark. You get no fuel surge at all and can run the car right to the bottom of the tank.

That's what I paid for mine .... and no doubt someones going to be along in a moment to say you can get the same part for a lot less from somewhere else?

Well I wanted to know if Greg was desparate for a brand new pump, or could use a second hand but perfectly servicable pump.

We normally retail the Motorsport pump for 180+VaT

First dibs to Greg, but if he doesn't want it I could be interested.

Dear Trevor,
That'll do very nicely for future reference.

Hypothetically speaking - would doing 150mph in a 2.5 on a standard fuel pump be a bad thing to do?

Paul - you wouldn't be using a swirl pot by any chance? - Ray West was toying with the idea of fitting this to mine....

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the state of the wiring and fuel filter. If either are not 100% tip-top then you might have a problem at some point. If they are tip-top, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Isn't the amount of fule you have left in the tank a factor?

Swirl pot or header tank whatever you want to call it. Ask Plans about it all. Theres a pump that pumps fuel into the swirl/header and then another high pressure one that pumps from that to the fuel rail. Simple, sensible and effective.

I do want A pump - just a question of which one, how and when. I will come back to you if I do want the other one you have - if I miss it, don't worry.

Thanks for the nudge
