Windy 81 I agree completely but how do you explain it working for two three days before start of electrical problems? That is the puzzling part. DISCO1BFG I know two reliable mech suppliers in Montreal (and one very knowledgeable mechanic in Hudson) so that is not the problem. One can even...

I read this thread most of it went over my head and couldn't figure out anything from the diagram, but thanks for the suggestions. I am electrically challenged I guess. That's why I am going back to a mechanical pump. Although still I would like to understand why that electric pump did not...

I am not sure but I really doubt that. I have done some electrical work on this car in the past with the assumption that body was the usual - ground and it had always worked. (But I do admit that electrically I am an ignoramus)

Thanks for your reply Steve. I found that questionable myself too but this is how the mechanic had installed it and it worked for a day or two before problems started. That pump had only one wire going to it which I amuse is the + . It was connected to a washer which was put under the bolt...

Hello everybody As the last two threads started by me shows I had problem with my mechanical fuel pump and on advice of some well meaning nitwit mechanics I had an electric pump installed. Every since installation it ran into problems, first it was installed too high above the tank and was not...

1000 thanks.

Thanks ExMil109. I have to pay closer attention to see if there are any numbers on the terminals. That pump makes up for lack of power by noise. It really shouldn't blow a fuse, but it did 95 km out of nowhere yesterday just after sunset as luck would have it and being used to mechanical...

Sorry guys for a beginner's questions but I have gone through the manuals (only mentioned in 86-70.01) and online search and forum search and can not find any explanation for which of the 4 fuses in my series 3 (petrol) does what? The top most fuse burns (since we added the electric pump instead...

Col Thanks for the suggestion I should have done that. There are so many options some straight and some bent. Looking at photos, bent must be part of design. That must be it. Right now pump is practically level with top of the engine. Always when I fill completely fuel gauge shows at 3/4...

Since we installed the electric pump the truck has stopped every time fuel is at 1/3 of the tank (2/3 used or 160 km in my case). Both time I poured 6 L of fuel in the tank and it restarted again. I have no idea why. Today I shorten the hoses from the tank to pump and pump to carburator to help...

OK I am adding an update as promised in case it might help somebody else in future: We left the damaged pump where it was and added an electric fuel pump (the miserable supplier shop says it is good for Mazda and will fit Land Rover). I added another filter before the pump and passed new hose...

Thank you fellows for your generous help and advice. I have arranged with another mechanic to take the truck to him tomorrow afternoon and work on this together. Since he is over 75 years of age there is hope he knows what he is doing, but I will keep your suggestions in mind. I will make an...

Thank you Joe. Tomorrow I will check this and the mesh in the tank at the same time. Thanks everybody for your kind help.

Thank extreedoc for your reply. That could very well be another problem. Quality of fuel some times is poor and the tank is one of the few things that I had not touched since I bought the truck. Question is how do I check or fix this? How do I get to that mesh and clean it? As for the...

How do I check that Joe?

Thank James for your reply. An update: I went and checked what you had asked me. The glass bowl was clean and clear. Pumping manually made absolutely no difference even though I removed the hose to be sure. What I did I made a small fuel tank with a water bottle, a piece of rubber hose and...

I think the only option would be used Sanata or OEM parts here. When I find my mechanic he will learn a new use for his hammer :) take care

If I understand correctly your solution is to change the fuel pump (based on these signs). Thank you very much for your kind and quick replies. cheers

It has one fuel tank. why?

:) I have noticed in my travels that you find the best food in countries that people have more than one wife.
