Hello good Mini people

 

as I struggle along with my rebuild (over in the saloon section 'Project W'), I find more and more broken parts, haha

 

anyhoo I took the fuel pump assembly out of the tank, and it's as dead as a parrot

 

I see pumps on the auction sites which require rewiring I guess

 

anybody had a successful swap out and has some pix of the work done or has any particular recommendations

I really can't affor a whole new unit right now

 

thanks for looking

From my collection of "What fits according to the internet".... The  Chevy part is a direct fit for the fuel filter from personal experience. I do not know how good the pump substitution is.

SPI Fuel Pump

I just posted on the minimania.com forum my experience this past weekend replacing a 1993 mini SPi fuel pump with a US substitute. It worked perfectly for about 82USD. It took only about an hour to do and saved me 450 dollars. (A rover pump here in the US is about $550. USD and a month wait to get it. It cross reverenced to a 1990 3.0L FI Dodge Caravan.

yep the whole new unit is a crazy price here too

like you I found some substitute pumps but was hesistant as to their quality and to the goodness of the fit

(do you have a thread with pics of your car ?)

[ryomini]

found that link for the Walbro pump but does require modding

The Minimania post was not mine, it was from somebody else that reposted the info on this forum and I just copied it. That is why I can not assure you of the pump fit. I do not have a thread of my car but I can post some pictures:
