Post by: ciaoflyer on April 27, 2012, 11:32:40 AM: I would love one but will it fit the Bis?
Title: Re: Blanking plates for Electric fuel pump conversion
Post by: cos124 on April 27, 2012, 12:44:10 PM: no idea. Is the mechanical fuel pump flange the same on aircooled and Bis? Anyone out there know?
Title: Re: Blanking plates for Electric fuel pump conversion
Post by: ciaoflyer on April 27, 2012, 01:06:44 PM: It looks similar but not sure....
Title: Re: Blanking plates for Electric fuel pump conversion
Post by: cos124 on April 27, 2012, 01:39:08 PM: have you got a spare pump or a spacer block off the engine? if so measure mounting hole distance. If it's 44mm then there is a chance it will be the same.

Post by: gammakeith on November 23, 2013, 10:47:38 AM: You'll have to forgive the ignorance but why do people swap to an electrical fuel pump? Is it to cure poor starting due to the fuel draining from the fuel lines back to the tank.

For the reason you mention and that the pumps can be very problematical, my last mech pump used to swap the send and return if it was started when hot, the one before was leaking petrol into the engine.
Title: Re: Blanking plates for Electric fuel pump conversion 126, bis, 500
Post by: Rusty's Uncle on November 23, 2013, 04:11:01 PM: I fitted an electric pump on our Bis way back in 1991 . The original pump failed so I just got a Morris Minor electric pump out of my garage and installed that to get me back on the road.
The problem with the Bis is that the pumps are "sealed for life" units and you can't do anything with them. Most of the pumps fitted to the air cooled range can be refurbished and it is normaly only the diaphragm that fails . If you carry a spare it is quite an easy roadside fix :)
Having said that I have got a blanking plate from Cos and also have a new electric pump just in case I feel like using one.

Post by: gammakeith on November 23, 2013, 06:08:14 PM: Its funny how fashion changes! At one time the mechanical fuel pumps were the solution to the breakdowns caused by the old style electric fuel pumps packing up. I guess with all new cars having electric pumps now the technology is somewhat better ;D My Spitfire had a rebuildable pump with a priming lever. That was great for getting fuel out for the mower!
