tek_01 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hey all just thought id share my little experience with you.... To cut a long story short, got a workshop (supposedly a good one) to install a 33 gtr pump in my 33 gtst I wasnt happy with the amount of racket it was making so i got a walbro one to put in myself when i opened it up i was amazed at how shit the work was and also unsafe! Picture 1 and 2: Both positive and negative wires insulation were ripped and Picture 3: The rubber seal had also been damaged Picture 4: Cap was bashed off with a screwdriver or something that would damage it (cant u see its plastic so u shouldnt use metal!) and last but not least they did not mount it on any sort of rubber just cable tied it to the cradle THATS WHY IT WAS SO f**kING NOISY! sorry no pic for that. /end of rant If anyone wants to know the name of the workshop, pm me and i will tell you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferni Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There is usually a marco mode on the point and shoot cameras that help you take close ups, looks like a little flower on my camera, try that next time Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/#findComment-2946233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarumatix Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Cable ties are the way to go for mounting them.. but yeah the rest looks very dodgy indeed. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/#findComment-2946465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

666DAN Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hence why I installed my pump myself....just curious did they manage to fit it so you didn't run out of fuel at half-tank as well? That seems to be a favourite. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158687-im-disgusted/#findComment-2946686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 my fuel pump was installed in a similiar manner.. but in addition to the above problems, they also neglected to put the fuel pump in the bracket, or put the sock back on the bottom of the hose.... ALSO.. part of the hose towards the top had disintergrated in the fuel tank leaving floating little white bits throughout my fuel! $20 says it was the same place! PM SENT!

predator Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 may I suggest you use the macro-focus mode on your camera next time..does wonders for close-ups but anyhow.. dodgy-brothers! as they say, if you can do better, may as well do it yourself!

someonestolecc Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think you should post up the name. It's not defamation if it's true... i suppose you -could- be making it up but you're not saying they're SHIT you're stating fact.

tridentt150v Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Should have a petrol resistant foam rubber sleeve and hose clamp/s to mount it. I've not seen ANY shop including autosparkies that wire things up neat. Kindergarten kids could usually do better!! They usually use the biggest soldering iron they can find, two rolls of dodgey insulation tape per job, have five twist joins in a 500mm length of wire, and crimp all connectors with a hammer or sidecutters.
