A couple of things spring to mind here.
 
1: Are you using brake line for your fuel pipe??
2: Where the rubber pipe is routed around the electrical wiring attached to whatever that solenoid / pump??? is looks crushed/compressed.

Hi friend, I imagine what you mean. And that you tell me thinking that by using this tube, you may not be getting enough fuel due to its diameter. Is that so?

As you can see in the black and white photo, in the book or manual, also use that tube.

A picture is just that a picture. What is the actual diameter of the line. Normally either 1/4” or 5/16th.

Just wondering why there's a Facet pump fitted as well. If it's on the same fuel line then it will be causing a restriction if not running. Curious about the dirty big rad under the floor too.

Hello! Not that is the old electric pump. It worked very well but it broke down, and was replaced by the german HARDI.

Hello! I don't know what diameter that copper tube has, but it is wider than the tube that carries the brake fluid. I promise.

Try removing the old pump and connect the pipes together with a piece of fuel line. The old pump will be causing a restriction.

Hi panky! No, the black Facet pump is no longer mounted in the car for a long time. That pump stopped working and I put this new one.
Anyone in this Forum has got the HARDI pump in his Mini ?

I suppose it's the heat exchanger for the air conditioning.

I'm sure there's loads of people running the Hardi pumps as MiniSpares sell them as their alternative to the expensive SU pumps. I bought one to fit to my Innocenti restoration.

... and have you already fitted in the car?
