Fuel pump, primary fuel filter and pressure relief valve were mounted in the boot. The fuel metering unit was in the engine bay and driven off the back of the distributor and perhaps someone has mistaken the FMU for the old style diesel injection pumps commonly found on older normally aspirated diesels.</div><div><br></div><div>Jonmac<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Vote for Guy Fawkes!
