ok gonna attempt to do above this weekend... wiring/relay etc not a issue..

had a look at pump and filter today and...







how do you get from pump outlet to filter inlet..



also from filter outlet to original ( look like it.. plastic fuel line in good condition)



filter inlet is larger thread than outlet.. also filter seems huge.. just had a look under car and old one is much smaller




really wanna try and do saturday so need to get my ass in gear for the parts needed... anyone know what is needed to make this happen.. and a easy place to get..

thnx in advance

Filter does indeed look way too big diametre, also as it has a 82 part number I reckon it's a V6 MFI filter, as fitted to xr4i etc, can you not get number from old filter ?
Anyway there is a pipe that runs from pump outlet to filter inlet in a u shape sort of.
Then the filter outlet connects to the fuel pipe going to engine through the banjo fitting on the end of it.

so your saying the old pump will have the same end as the new one so the old piece on car will still fit...

aye filter is crazy.. think i found it as a escort cossie one...

so not sure the old stuff on filter will fit.. was hoping to buy all new ends etc so would be 100% sure i had all bit for saturday...

 

As said mate thats not a cossie fuel pump, their about half the diameter of that if even that!!

Unfortunatly mines at my parents or could have given u the right part number for it but if you ring one of the main parts places like woodford/matt lewis etc im sure they would be able to send u the right one next day delivery so u had it by fri if u order it early enough!!

 

fuel pump is just a 044.. its the filter thats big

 

sorry mate meant not cossie filter

Here u go, pic off an ebay add for the cossie one, part number is EFG 84

 

^^^ now that looks a lot like it 8)

and im guessing all the old bits on car will come off and go in new one?

 

Yes all the bits will fit, the problem with the 044(group a) pump is it just has a plain end to which you have to put the inlet stub as in your picture, from tank as they don't have these as std.
The only other thing you will have to do is chop the ends of the pump wires off and fit a ring terminal on each wire to go over studded connection, just use a couple of red ring terminals, plus nuts/washers to hold, then protect with coppaslip to keep out moisture.
Apart from that all good to go, might be easier to just take off the cradle from car, only 2 X 13mm nuts, then can do it all on bench, I would do one bit at a time, in case you forget which way it goes, not that I've ever done that of course!!
