Title: Replacment pump Post by: smithymc on June 17, 2013, 04:21:27 PM Can anyone tell me if this pump will fit my 1600 carb coupe?
I am without car so cannot compare visually. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290875930316&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290875930316&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en) Thanks Mark Title: Re: Replacment pump Post by: Neil-yaj396 on June 17, 2013, 07:41:06 PM Have a look at my recent thread that has a picture of the pump I fitted last month. The one on your eBay thread looks a bit tall to me and may foul the inlet manifold.

Mark Title: Re: Replacment pump Post by: smithymc on June 18, 2013, 05:16:57 PM Latest - its not the pump, its crud in the tank, which has been awakened by all this driving it about for MOTs nonsense.
I assume best option is to strip and line the tank?

Either that or buy shares in a fuel filter manufacturer... ;DI assume best option is to strip and line the tank? Mark I've recently had to get my Spider tank re-lined. When I drained it the amount of crud and corruption that came out was quite disturbing... Title: Re: Replacment pump Post by: smithymc on June 19, 2013, 07:25:23 AM Is lining the tank a DIY thing( looks quite simple on the POR 15 video on YouTube) or are there any specialists who will take the pain ( and mess) out of the process?

There are specialist who will take the pain out of the process, but they replace it with a pain in the wallet... ;DMark I used Hartlepool Radiators and their Re-nu process. Basically they open the tank up, blast it inside and out, weld it back up again and then bake their own proprietary coating onto it. They offer a lifetime guarantee, but it will set you back the far side of £300 depending on condition. I'm sure there are other people out there doing different processes and possibly cheaper, but this seemed a 'do once and forget about it' deal, which appealed.
