[TR] Fitting an electric fuel pump

[Rye Livingston]

Cliff,

I’m pretty sure it’s the 13312, has the same slip-on fuel line fittings, which is the one highlighted on the home page.  

At the bottom of the home page is a link to a table of comparison English vehicles.  Doesn’t list TR3, but you will see it’s listing it at 2.5-3 psi.

Just got back from our DYTD drive with 12 Triumphs and 1 Jaguar XKE Coupe over to the coast.  It was raining yesterday and rain tomorrow, but today was sunny California!

You can mount if by the fuel tank or in the engine compartment.  It will push or pull and is very quiet.  Initially I installed it in my engine compartment, but later on I wanted to install a coolant overflow bottle and needed the room, so moved it to the back, so I’ve had it do both.  https://www.hardi-automotive.com/en/products/fuel-pumps/ <https://www.hardi-automotive.com/en/products/fuel-pumps/>
