can anyone please help

i bought a standard escort cosworth in tank fuel pump off a guy
who said its a standard escort cosworth fuel pump.

it looks very similar to my old rs2000 fuel pump

how can you tell if its off a escort cosworth?

i checked for number on the pump, and theres a AC stamped on it with the numbers: 6443280 0522-1 43


anyone please advize

cant help much on numbers but if it looks the same as your old rs2000 pump will probily be right .cossy has same pump as all escort range thats why, even at standard power they are border line on melting your engine

I still have my old fuel pump which I changed for an uprated one. I believe this to be standard and has the numbers 6443329 0932-1 stamped on it. I can take a picture and post it if you want.

Cheers
John

here is my old one. Don't have it anymore but if it can save some time

rsguy

hmm see your old one has a red trim mine had a beige,

dont know what do do really as i paid quite a bit for this and want to put it on the car but scared incase its the wrong one and cause detornation and wreck my new engine.

thats why i want to try and find the most about it before i fit it.

just want to make sure it is a escort cos fuel pump and not say off a fiesta rs turbo as they are identical.

the std cossie is sold as "uprated" for rs turbos...

rsguy

its silly how you dont have a part number on the pump? i even took it to ford and they dident know what it was off as theres no ford numbers on the pump

just dont know what to do, fit it or dont fit it.

if I was U I would'nt... to many risks to melt a piston

rsguy

ok thanks mate, think i will try and get my money back off the guy i bought it off.

i noticed them group A pumps like the one in picture are alot bigger than the standard cosworth pumps.
how do u fit them in tank as they look to big as a direct replacment for the smaller standard pump in tank?

Dave Henshall

a brand new walbro direct replacement high pressure high flow one is only Ł100 - dont risk an 'unknown' for the sake of that money,

and as said above, the std escos fuel pump is the same as all the other efi escorts and it virtually maxxed out as standard on a escos.

i have a bosche 003 intank one which is better than a walbro suited for about 400bhp for sale check the cosworth parts for sale section not asking much for it either

if you don't plan for big BHP the walbro is the best choice but with the bosch 023 it's fit and forget...
that what I've done on mine I designed and weld a fitting on the outlet pipe to keep the genuine hose (to avoid problem with the MOT)





But you can also supply a fitting kit from R&B quite easely

Just managed to take a photo and post. As above, do not cut corners here. If in doudt, get one that you're happy with.

whats the issue with the MOT and external fuel fittings John?

Well, less things you see less questions you ask.... if you have braided lines on fuel anyone can guess it as been modified so in the MOT or worth in case of mortal accident you can lose your insurance in France because it is not permited to change anything on the car...
braided lines for the brakes are even forbiden over here now I think..!

Dave Henshall

now thats just silly - how can replaceing something that can perish and split under normal working conditions with something far far superior be a bad thing...??

yes it is, but those lines can be 'home made' you can buy the fittings and the lines so it can be done in good or bad way.. I guess it's why they are worry...
I've got goodridge anyway on mine so I'll see next time if they notice it!
