Fuel Pump fitting Swap

[v8s4me]

I have Bosch fuel pump with a banjo fitting but I need the push-on fitting for the V8S. Does anyone have a pump with a push-on fitting and want to swap the fittings with me?



The number on the pump is 580 254 910.

Is that an original pump? As far as I remember, my original had a plastic end cap with an integral spigot and not an interchangeable fitting like that. I do still have the original pump if you're having an emergency.

PS it had spade fittings too.

Can you not take that fitting out and replace with a hose barb?

No, it's a spare I picked up as a back-up. I haven't changed the one that'son the car at the moment but it does have the same connections as this one so I think it has had a replacement in the past.

Possibly. Worth a try.

I expect you'll have somebody local, but in case you don't - Docking Engineering in Towcester (the radiator people) are an Earls stockist. It's been a few years since I was in but they used to have a pretty comprehensive stock.

does look like the end fitting is removable as there is a copper washer behind it

The outlet is m12x1.5 You should be able to get a hose barb to go in there, there's a non return valve in the banjo fitting that's on there though so you might want to fit one in the fuel line if you change it.

Yes, of course, it's not BSP it is Metric

Probably a bit late now, but you could get something like this, which is what my S has.

Thanks to the tip but I've gone with Phillpot's suggestion as this saves changing the hose fitting.
