recently bought an sj with isuzu 1.7td engine conversion and the lift pump pipe got cracked as it had sat for soo long, but I'm having trouble finding a replacement, were these ever fitted as standard?

Welcome to the club.

That just looks like a Samurai injection fuel tank to me. :er:
Can a petrol pump be used for diesel :er:
Does the diesel engine need a pump in the tank :er:

Any chance of a pic of what came out and what's wrong with it.

ah ok, I couldn't find one with the lift pump point in it like mine.

this is the lift pump, is all pretty minging in the tank, so glad its broken in a way as I get to clean it all up.

and the snapped feed and return pipes on the top, although looking at it don't see why I couldnt drill out the old pipe and replace it as long as I seal it up, you reckon could work ok?

Pic of a Samurai petrol pump.
I thought the pump on the engine just sucked the fuel from the tank.

The late SPI Sammy Sports have that pump.

Try Mike Harris or Try Jubilee clip some hose directly to whats left if its meaty enough.

The fuel pickup on my normal tank is snapped to a similar size. I just used Dans method. Rubber pipe and jubilee clip. Been on 4 years now.

mine started as a 1.3 samurai sport, n reg too so quite new.

that sounds like it should work ok, I reckon I can save it still.

nice one for the links, maybe he's got a drivers door left which I need also
