Can anyone tell me vehicles that would have an electric fuel pump instead of a mechnical one?
need about 4psi at 100+ liters per hour
The last time I looked a lot of cars have "intank" pumps - this is not suitable for my application
Landrover, Moggy or just buy a facet one
if you can find a jag in a scrappy they have a nice one, infact two.
The original Rover 216s (SU carb) the old 80s 3 box type have a nice silent AC pump mounted underneath the car just ahead of the ns rear wheel.
VW golfs (mk1 and early mk2's) and Audi 80's have the bosch type underneath just in front of the o/s rear wheel. (Sometimes covered by a big noise dampaning tube thing).
2 LTR carltons circa 91 had electric stand alone pumps at rear of axle.They also are in a big foam tubey noise dampener type thingymabob (yes this is
the tech phrase for it)

No, I always remember it being under the boot in the subframe, covered in SH!TE and corroded to F%c& with no chance of fixing it in the middle of winter 10 miles from home
Early V8 Range Rovers and V8 Land Rovers have a high capacity SU type low pressure elecky pump.
BMW 3 series rubber tube covered Bosch jobbie same as VW Audi Kraut wagens. Cheap too.
My Sierra 2.0i gls had a pump strapped under the tank had to change it and got the same one from an Audi 80 i think.
hope that helps
peterf hey you are dead right it is undeer the floor on the mini and yes I remember it all covered in shite!! must be my age I'm forgetting all the little details, remember the new one was cheeep though!
I remember my MG being like that ,luckily it had wire wheels and a good clonk on the pump with the knock on mallet always got it going again .

Are we talking lift/supply pumps or injection system pumps??
If you plop a high pressure pump from an injection car, to feed carbortooters, it will blow them to bits. Likewise , if you use a low pressure (ie
Mini, Moggy, any carb car...) to squirt at a set of injectors, you'll not break many speed records.
And don't forget to check part numbers for injection system pumps. I recall fitting a Pierberg/Bosch type pump to my SD1 Vitesse and it would
only tick over. The pump I fitted looked identical but it was from a Vauxhall Cauliflower SRi and one digit was wrong on the part number so the flow
rate/pressure was wrong.
Just a thought or two.....
A couple of comments, several of the pumps mentioned here are injection ones so no good for your 4 psi requirement!
I would say the best source is a Facet, taken from a carburettored Range Rover. These actually use the same Facet pump that you can buy from a
motorsport supplier, but at breakers yard prices. It's located under the floor on the passenger side (I think?) under the "step" in
the floor that the seats are mounted on.
