i bought a bosch 040 fuel pump thinking it was a good straight swap with the standard r33 one. had my mechanic look insdie my fuel tank today and he ripped out the original and just scratched his head.. said it didnt look like the 040 was going to mount in. he said he was unsure alos if he did put it in weather it would at a unsafe level

just wondering how other have got one of these pumps in

cheers

He told me to keep it above 1/4 tank to be safe, but I've driven it a bit beyond that and I haven't had fuel pickup problems..I think that was just a cautious figure..it is higher, but not by that much.

I put one of those in myself and also try to keep it above the 1/4 level to be safe. Just need to modify the cradle a little bit so it'll fit.

GOTO the diy forum and look at the pictures on my install...

You will see i cut the bottom of the bracket off and bent it slightlly. Mine now sits at the same height as the pickup and dont have to worry about running out of fuel....

Please use stainless clamps and not zip ties as they can slip and contact the power against the fuel tank.... (<<<BANG>>>)
