Hi Guys,

I am almost scared to ask this, but has anyone got any suggestions what should go in the third hole on my diesel lift pump.

I am half way through a 200tdi conversion and am connecting the fuel lines. The lift pump has two ports on the top of the pump and one on the side. The side on has an arrow pointing into the pump so I am assuming that the line from the tank goes in here. One of the top ones then feeds a line to the filter.

What the heck goes in the other one?

Careful with your answer boys, I am easily shocked!!!

Treaded bung it is, that makes most sense. I think the bleed screw is on the filter housing. The picture below is of my engine at the moment. I have dropped the 200tdi into my 90 after the 19J died. As a 50 year old, female, novice mechanic, I am on a very steep learning curve. But hey if you can follow a recipe, you can follow a workshop manual!!!

Exactly, I had no idea how my engine worked before I started, not a clue what a lift pump, intercooler or banjo bolt was. Now I do, feeling quite proud of myself. I have done almost everything myself, including removing the old engine on the crane, cleaning, painting, under sealing the chassis. Like I say the learning curve is quite steep. I did have some muscle, to help me line up the new engine, so can't claim to be totally solo!!!
