Fuel pump seal leake

[Andrew63]

I have a 1961 Mortis Minor, it is leaking fuel from the seal on the petrol pump, can I replace this or do I have to replace the whole pump, and if so where is the best place to get one from please?

Pumps are available from all the usual suspects. Some swear by the German made electronic 'pointless' ones , I found this to be very noisy so swapped back to a new SU pump with its reassuring tick tick.

As for repair , it depends where it is leaking from .

Burens (SU) do a comprehensive spares kit and they are relatively simple to take apart. That said, the kit is £30 and a new pump £90 so you takes your choice !

Before you purchase anything - try the tightening the screws holding the pump body to the valve housing.
