Hello
Just been looking through some posts and found a couple of negative threads regards Ron Box’s destroying HP fuel pumps. Googling took my to the Rover 75 forum somewhere…
My question(s) are regards how the pump failed and what damage was caused? I have a bit of a fetish regard diesel pumps and am a little surprised that a purely mechanical pump would fail.
Also has it ever been determined that a HP pump had been worn or had badly deteriorated because of other factors such as water contamination or the use of ‘bio fuel’ or …. Cooking oil..or has it been ascertained that the failure was solely down to the Ron Box.
I had read several reviews more than a few years ago regards Ron Box’s all of which were positive and seemed to confirm the Perfomance and fuel savings/gains etc.
Finally.. (I do go on a bit) have any of these HP pumps been rebuilt after ‘failure’ or is the damage so catastrophic that they are scrapped as a normal course?
Opinions and experiences most welcome…
