Beware ill fitting pre-pumps Posted by PaulS [Email] ![]() ![]() |
The way the fuel pre-pump is mounted on the bucket means that any replacement pump needs to be the exact same size. The first pump I bought was from a company I never heard of I think it was "Swedish Performance Parts" (but it could be something similar). The pump was allegedly made in Sweden. Anyway the metal body of the pump was too long and there way no way it was going to fit.
Since the OEM pump was made be A/C Delco next I tried a Delphi pump. The Delphi pump almost fit but it was a little too long. I used a Dremel to grind down the shoulder on the output side and was able to get it to fit.
Hopefully a new pump will last longer than the string of "good used" pumps I've been using. I'll post again if it doesn't.
Also, I tried to replace the inlet screen on the pre-pump but only an OEM style screen will work. It's obvious when you look at the parts but easy to forget when everything is still in the fuel tank.
