MY, EA81 fuel pump
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2014 8:18 pm
Looks like the EA81 fuel pump is on the way out,
I know after market electric pumps that looks like a cylinder can be bought as can a block style electric pump.
I am wondering what are peoples experiences with after market pumps, what type they bought, where/how did they mount them and any problems they had doing this.
I already have an after market block style electric pump but I am dubious on where/how to mount this and I think I need to mount it no further than a max of 12 inches above the fuel tank or it wont be able to suck the fuel from the tank.
I have also picked up an L series block style electric pump but these appear to have been mounted near the fuel tank.
I would prefer to keep the pump in its current location behind the LH side front strut in the engine bay.
Just wondering on peoples thoughts and experiences.
