Title: Help with this part!!!
Post by: Bigdunc on 08 October 2011, 18:38

Went to tackle in tank fuel pump today to find the reducer attaching pump to lifter cracked and split, managed to temp fix with fuel pipe and clips, was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a reducer (check pic).
Failing that I do have another fuel sender but it has a 3 pin connector not a 4 which my car has, maybe I could use the 3 pin and change the wiring as the only difference I can see is the 3 pin has one earth and the 4 pin has 2 earths but I could double them up.

Anyone got any suggestions

i was going to convery the other way around from a 4 to a 3 just means feeding 2 earths in to one wire :) at the moment my in tank fuel pump is not 100% air tight so it wil be messing up the mixture
