[Mg-t] facet pump

[Charlie Baldwin]

There is a website called www.rockauto.com that shows the square body 
Facet type pump for $57.95(I think), but it is negative ground.  It 
could be that Facet no longer makes it because it is marketed by 
Beck-Arnley.  If you go to the site look under say a 1970 MGB for this 
pump and also other choices including an original SU.  It states that it 
is 1 1/2 -3 1/2 psi.
Rock Auto usually has very good prices.

my A I got so disgusted with SU pumps after going through three  brand 
new ones in one summer,  I replaced it with the one from  Autozone that 
was identical to the Facet and never again had a problem.

I doubt it is vapor lock, just a bad pump.  They get hot and quit  
working.  The old one stays in place for looks because you can pump  
through it.

Subject: [Mg-t] Solid State Fuel Pump


    Every summer I fight vapor lock problems in my TD. It has already  
started
this year in Florida. Installing a metal "heat shield" between the  exhaust
manifold and the fuel bowls has only had minimal effect. In my  search, I
read that many TD owners install a low pressure Facet solid-state  fuel
pump
by the tank to PUSH the fuel to the SU electric pumps. Does anyone  have a
part number for the correct Facet (or other manufacturer) pump?

Requirements: My TD has NEGATIVE ground. SU fuel pumps 1.5-4 psi,  approx 4
GPH.

Thanks
