Hello, Healeyphiles!
=20
As part of the preparation for the cross-country drive to Lake Tahoe for =
Open Roads 2002, I added a generic electric backup fuel pump (P/N =
E8016S, from Autozone) to my BJ8 with a switch under the dash that =
allows switching to either pump, or turning both off. I chose to plumb =
the backup pump into the system in series with the SU because the =
installation was much simpler than doing it in parallel. That =
arrangement works perfectly well. Either pump can pump through the =
inactive pump. All that was required was to cut the hard fuel line from =
the SU to the carbs, which I had already done anyway to install an =
in-line fuel filter there under the RH rear seat. To install the backup =
pump then only required removing the filter, running new rubber fuel =
hoses to complete the system, and reinstalling the filter. Quick =
access to the pumps and the filter is done by using chrome screws from =
above into anchor nuts on the seat structure, rather than having to =
remove a wheel to access the seat stud nuts. I can remove the seat to =
have full access to both pumps, the filter, the hoses, and the wiring =
(it also makes checking and topping up the differential oil much =
easier). The backup pump is attached to the front wall of the boot =
behind the rear axle. It is quiet with only a slight hum, and I =
can=E2=80=99t hear it with the engine running.
=20
My usual practice is to run on the SU on an outbound leg of a trip, then =
switch to the backup for the return. Three times since doing the =
modification, I have had occasion to switch to the backup when the SU =
stumbled (in the middle of Atlanta traffic) and twice when it failed to =
start the car. These =E2=80=9Cfailures=E2=80=9D were only temporary =
because the SU performed just fine when switched back later. I have =
since rebuilt the SU. After Conclave in Deadwood, I joined the group =
touring the northern states, and decided to split off from them and make =
a 160-mile detour alone over into Montana just to check that state off =
my list. The weather that day was rainy and chilly. Just as I got into =
Montana on an isolated country road, I felt the car suddenly failing to =
respond to the accelerator. As soon as I figured out what was =
happening, I switched to the SU and kept motoring. I was able to find =
another identical generic pump at Autozone in Minot, ND the next morning =
and had it installed in about 15 minutes. I used it to get back to =
North Carolina. Easy peasy=E2=80=A6. I was so glad not to have to rely =
on having to install a spare carried in the boot, on the side of the =
road, in the rain or in the dark.

Why do so many people replace an original SU pump that has lasted =
decades with an aftermarket pump that requires modifying the fuel lines, =
adding additional fittings, clamps & altering the mounting brackets (all =
additional sources of failures), vibrates continuously, etc, when it =
would be so much easier & more original to simply replace it with a new =
highly reliable SU fuel pump? If you are concerned about being stranded =
at the side of the road, carry a spare SU or even better install it in =
parallel & wire up a selector switch so you can switch between the two =
pumps. =20
