I have saph boa in 2000e shell fuel pump is not workingso got a cossie pump but cant find the 2000e pump, i can see the fuel filter

 

pump maybe in tank

 

As said, it will be an intank pump.

....

 

Dont forget there is a cut out switch located drivers kick panel on later sierras not under the spare wheel

 

Mines under spare wheel in boot and that's all ok!

 

Maybe a crossover model and got both...

 

Only hooded dash Sierra models had the cutoff behind the kick panel. All others were in the spare wheel well

 

So if i got 2000e tank and internal pump what do i need if i want to fit cossie pump? I have the pump, filter and bracket

 

Complete tank/sender etc from the external pump car..

Really..it would be easier just to buy the correct pump for the car you have.

 

Very dunk here so bear with me here

if you can diagnose your fuel pump problem at this stage,

use the in-tank twincam pump, on a seperate relay`d wiring loom to feed an external swirl pot, and use the cosworth pump to feed from the swirl pot to the engine.

both pumps relay`d and reliable once the issue is sorted.

i take it the fuel filter has been changed recently?

 

Good tip that Sean..

 

Or.................
Recently my mates sierra estate twin cam keep blowing fuel pumps we actually had to change 2 full sender and pump units , then on the 3rd time we couldn't get one .
After having taken it in and out the tank a few times, we realised that it looked the same as mk3 fiestas and mk5 escort pumps.

So we had the whole unit out of the tank pulled the pump off the bracket carefully you have to bend a tag out the way that supports it then unclipped the wiring .
We then put a mk3 fiesta SI pump back in
( we crossed referenced part numbers and they were the same )

What I'm trying to get at is that people put escort Cossie pumps in fiesta turbos .
So surely what we have done can be done with a escort Cossie pump.
Meaning that you ain't gotta change the tank/lines/filters add a swirl pot.

 

All very well saying add an external pump, or a swirl tank...

But surely the reason he's asking is because the in-tank pump is fucked, and needs replaced regardless ?

So anything external or add on, is a total waste of time.

 

Hiya Wez, your tank will look like this...



When me and my mate did mine the first time, the original idea was to fit the sender and pump from the 24v Granada tank, reason being I had read a lot about people saying the twincam 8v pump is not suitable for the 24v Cosworth engine, so I wanted to make sure and use the pump that came with the engine in the Granada.

Some people say that the 8v twincam pump is alright but I wanted to rule out any doubts while I was fitting a new tank.



BUT the unit as a whole will not fit the Sierra tank so we had to swap the pump out of the 24v unit and put it in with the sender and feed pipe from the 8v...



So, you have two choices, use the in tank set up or buy a YB pump suited tank.

I don't like the mix and match idea personally, your best off keeping it as simple as possible to rule out any possible snags you may encounter.

Good luck whatever you decide.

 

Right totally forgot about this thread so I bought saph cossie tank and sender as I already had bracket/mount and saph cossie fuel pump so now gotta work out fitting it etc
