[Tigers] Alternative Fuel Pump Stock Location

                Very nice, well done.  

I also have a cube type fuel pump on my stock Tiger engine but I relocated
it to the trunk wheel well area.

I think the cube type fuel pump is well fitted for a stock engine but I'm
not sure it can support higher HP engines.

 

As always, I believe we all need to know about fuel pump options these days.

Hello All,

My $.02 on alternative fuel pump for a stock/oem Tiger.

 

I went with the Facet/Purolator cube type (fac40106)  from Pegasus after the
stock/original slowly went south.

 

Fabbed a bracket with heat shield and added an additional fuel filter on the
pump inlet for installation in the stock location.   The bracket/heat shield
were not included but the nipple and inlet filter and fusible lead were.
Ordered the mounting kit separately along with a spare fuel filter.   I just
used marine grade fuel line to connect to the original fuel lines. 

 

Here are a couple pics of the pump w bracket before I locked everything down
in case you are interested.  Looks like the Facet is compatible with a
variety of fuels and still made in the US.  It does click like the original
SU when you power it up but very quiet on the road.
