[brian]

Hi,anyone know anything about the SU fuel pump,or where can I get a cheap one ,many thanks ,Brian

[PSL184]

Yes, we know them intimately - what do you need to know?

[bmcecosse]

Just clean the points (and the filter) in the one you have. All highly detailed in the Workshop manual........

[brian]

Sorted,many thanks ,cheers Brian

It is a useful item to have a spare but make sure that you get genuine Lucas, not a cheap imitation

[MarkyB]

Lucas?
Surely shome mishtake, S.U. is the name to look for. Accept no substitute!

[marcusthemoose]

does anyone know what the thread size is on the inlet? preferably the body of the pump, but the exterior of the union is fine. please specify in reply though please.

my pump to tank pipe has been cut, and i am strugling to find an end (pump), esm no longer stock the brass unions from the pipe

sorry this is the best way i can think to describe this

[newagetraveller]

When my pipe was cut I joined the two ends together with rubber tubing and a couple of jubilee clips.

[marcusthemoose]

thanks, that is what i hope to do, but i don't have the pipe section and union (pump end). does anyone have/ know where to get the brass unions from, as it seems silly to spend £18 on a whole new pipe, when i already have a pipe bent to shape that seems servicable with the addition of a few little bits.

you could always chase up someone who is breaking a minor to get the section you need.

i have an old pump that i ca strip, what part is it that u need

[marcusthemoose]

hi dennis, it is the brass union that fits over the thread on the pump inlet. it is usually attatched to the main fuel pipe. let me know if you have anything. if you have the whole pipe end still attached to the pump, the whole section would be great- i understand that they are often cut. thanks

[marcusthemoose]

just for reference, the code numbers for the parts i require in "the morris minor catalouge" are FUL 105 and FUL 106. thanks for your help.

[aupickup]

i have a pump with the inlet and outlet stubs
here is a pic of the end of the pump ( minus the main body)[frame][/frame]

[marcusthemoose]

the piece i need should join the inlet where the plastic cover is. here is a picture to explain



circled components 6 and 7, not the others. thanks

I have an old fuel pipe with the end you want I think from one of my three restorations. Can't remember the condition exactly but I'll have a look tomorrow and see if it's serviceable. If it is then I'll post a reply am tomorrow. How much pipe would you like me to leave on the end for you to connect to? 6-8"? Then PM me with your address and I'll put it in the post.

What a great friendly forum this is! Well done.

[M_Temple]

Yep, looks OK. Bit of surface rust because it's been sat outside all winter, but the end you want is ok and the union/olive are in good condition. Lost track in the thread exactly who it is that wants it (marcusthemoose??), so whoever it is, if they could pm me asap with the address and how much pipe you want me to leave on then I'll post it when I go into the village later this morning.
