changing fuel pump

[Darrell]

Can you get injection tanks from gypsies?

Yes, but it would be made from paper mache with a bit of black paint on and you would never see them again

I changed my in tank fuel pump with self priming electric one. I mounted it in engine bay and it works great.

I just disconnected in tank fuel pump relay. So that the (in tank) pump doesn't engage

I think out-of-tank pumps are probably the only way forward. OEM injection pumps are so rare!

Just thinking out loud here though - what about an injection Vitara or GV fuel pump?

Most fuel pumps are designed to push fuel so should be mounted as close to the tank as possible, it'll be working a lot harder being mounted in the engine bay.

Yeah, I mounted my (low pressure, for a carb) electric pump on the chassis rail just ahead of the fuel tank for that reason. I don't know if it's standard, but there was a fuel filter there on mine, so I just fitted the pump there in line with the filter. Didn't have to cut any pipes or anything.

the pump i got is designed to be mounted in engine bay or close to the tank.

This are specs and some data for the pump:

Technical Specifications:

Voltage: 12V
Connections: 8 mm
Capacity: 110 liters
Suction height: 1.0 m
Pressure: 0.20 bar

This diaphragm pump is similar to the known Mitsuba- fuel pump, which automatically adjusts the delivery rate of the consumption of the engine. During high-use it pumps quickly, with low consumption to pump slowly or not at all, making it ideal for carburettor systems up to 100 hp suitable.

I thought that injection models needed a high pressure pump?

I'm running a carb model vitara 1.6 8v. so it's not EFI.

I have a Samurai 1.3 8v single point injection model (1995), does this model have fuel pump in the tank?
