| Post subject: | elect fuel pump |
My fuel pump struck a leak today.I found the screws had cracked the case. I tried installing an old Datsun bluebird pump I had lying around but this runs constantly. The car did run for a while but then stalled,I guess theres too much fuel pressure. I will shop around for the correct pump this week. |

Are you after the correct SU pump for a cooper s or just any electric pump suitable? Facet do an electric fuel pump (available from Repco type places, robbos etc) for around $100 that many of us have used with success, but they too run all the time as far as I know. Ps - I thought Bluebirds used the cam driven mechanical pump used on most of the L series engines? KB |

Thanks for the info guys,I am buying the correct pump (solid state)from mini spares UK. $113 plus shipment.Lot cheaper than I could by one here. As for the Bluebird pump,it came out of my old 1982 model which had a elect fuel pump as standard. Regards Felix |

Just received my new elect fuel pump(auf214en) from England.3 working days to get here,not bad. The pump appears to have 2 vent connections,1 near the inlet/outlet pipes and 1 near the elect terminal. I presume I only connect my vent hose to the one near the fuel connections and leave the other open to atmosphere? |

No, you connect the other one to the vent hose. This keeps water out of the points, or whatever electronic gizmos live in there instead. |

Hi Kevin, Had another look at the new pump and the other vent is for the electronic part which I think should be left open. Where does the vent line run to,it appears to run forward from where the pump mounts to and dissapears. Regards Felix |

It runs up to a nylon fitting mounted in the kickboard, under the back seat. IF it's a Cooper, Cooper S or 850. It was to keep the insides of the pump dry from road slush. |
