Gentlemen:
For your information for 40 years, I traveled the world selling automotive
and industrial products. I was the regional director for the Automotive
Exporters Club and attended meetings in New York on a regular basis. Many of
the members were VP Sales International of major automotive corporations.
The Bendix international sales manager had been trying to convince the
Healey group to switch over to their pump for many years. Finally, they
agreed, and orders were being prepared for the change over when the
production of the Healey was cancelled.
The pump we are speaking about was developed by William Bendix in the 20's
for use on airplanes because it was designed to allow fuel to continue to
flow when planes were upside down. Over the years it has been improved
using solid state electrics and continues to perform to provide fuel to
engines operating on land, in the air, and on sea. My sailboat has a Kubota
diesel engine with a Bendix fuel pump. I was having problems with starting
the engine due to lack of fuel going to the engine, so I changed the filters
and forgot there is a screen filter in the bottom of the Bendix Pump. Then I
remembered, opened the pump, and noticed the filter had been doing its job
as it was packed with yellow cake particles. After cleaning the filter in
the Bendix pump and purging the fuel tank of the crud the hard starting
problem was solved. They just keep on ticking!
Next time the fuel pump in my Healey gives me problems, I will change it to
a Bendix.
Bob Begani
