Default 044 Fuel Pump fitting - a quick guide :)

After the rewire of my fuelpump wiring, it was deemed a relaible upgrade to fit an 044 "Group A" fuel pump

quick guide


Remove old manky fuel pump cradle







Assemble new pump and filter in a refurbished cradle







After struggleing and loosing about half a litre of fuel, it was decided to remove the pump from the cradle and put it onto the tank and refit the pump back into the cradle once connected to the tank





Bolt up new parts in old parts places remembering to use stainless nuts for ease of removal in the future





Route the brand new pump to filter line (this is assuming you have had one made) and tighten the banjo fitting on the pump, and the elbow fitting on the filter





Neaten up wires with cable ties and if you desire, support the stainless braided fuel line






Before starting the car, prime the pump a few times by switching on and off the ignition, then start the car



Stand back and listen to a nice buzzing fuel pump
