I would agree with Don, the conversion to the Bosch fuel pump is the common
corrective action for the Lucas pump "bucket of water in the boot"
problems.
This is especially true in Oz, where the ambient temp can be a little high,
however it is not always required (depending on pump condition etc), as
some people survive quite well with the Lucas pump.
