Title: 16v fuel pump problem
Post by: markmarky0 on 14 January 2009, 23:01

i have a mechanical fuel injected 16v and ive noticed a fuel smell at rear of the car, so i looked closer and the fuel pump had a smalll drip of petrol on it. I found there to be a small hole on the metal pipe that bolts onto the end of the fuel filter, anyone have any ideas on where stock these pipes??
thanks

You sure its a mechanical fuel pump?

Is it the one numbered 5 in that photo? If it is, then you're a K-Jet, which means you need a proper pipe, bodging won't do here. I got the whole fuel pump housing with pump, accumulator, filter and pipe off eBay for £20 a few years back.

I've noticed the dealers are starting to phase out of a lot of parts now, fuelling being one of them. Best bet is to call the stealers and see what they have to say, then there's always scrapyards, folk breaking cars and eBay ;)
