Fuel tank-what is that??

[GazzaG60]

are they pukka 044.

i had what i thought was a real one. lasted about 3 months. im back on an old ex escort wrc item now 10+ years old. sound of silence

[piotr]

Yes buddy 100% genuine one.

[GazzaG60]

on a full tank is it quiet

whats the mesh on the end of the pump like. not the strainer the mesh on pump

[piotr]

Amount of fuel don’t make any difference at all.
there is nothing at the end of the mump-just threaded hole

[piotr]

Just like this,and that little looks clean

This is how it’s fitted boys.

What do you think Alex,looking at the pictures?

[GazzaG60]

gotta say it looks pretty good to me.
does the pump move in the basket.

try pushing the pump dpwn a fraction into it. not a lot bout 1/2 inch
put a cable tie round top of it where it grips pump the bit which looks like it has cutouts.

give that a go

Cheers Gazza
Pump is not moving at all in the basket .

[GazzaG60]

see mine as id cut the basket slightly would move with some push. never made a sound though.

have you checked the check valve and outlet. not sure why this would make a difference just thinking to rule it out. maybe remove it.

[piotr]

I was also thinking about the valve that it comes with pump.Its very hard to blow through but old one and new one are the same so not sure if this might be the problem?
i have got brand new pump but I’m scared to connect it because I don’t know what killed the other one

[piotr]

Maybe the fact that my fuel return pipe and breathing pipes have been mixed up and connected wrong way round???

That would make some interesting noises

[piotr]

That would make some interesting noises

Well-this is the thing I’m thinking off now-since I rebuild all underneath of the car including all new fuel pipes I didn’t realised that I have connected return and breathing pipes wrong way round at the fuel tank and I know it definitely want help but is this the definitive reason for two pumps to fail in the sam way or is there something else
