when i was removing the fuel tank from donor i chopped the fuel lines near the pump in tank, well i was cleaning it today reading to fit and removed the white connector from pump, fine, removed the red on and it broke, AAARRGGHHHH....
well can you buy replacement ones or is it a new pump for the tank.

its a 1.0 spi donor with a large pump fitted, it has 2 different wire block connectors that attach as well.

hope someone can help or advise if replacement bits available, oh they have an 'O' ring on them to make the seal held down by a metal plate

thanks

man this resto is well hard ??? and soul destroying when summat breaks
 
no you can`t,have to try and find the fuel lines that run from the tank to the front, the conectors are brittle, there are quite a few versions of fuel line, unless it`s the top part and it`s the housing? i tried to get the fuel lines for mine, a 93 spi, panda clx, after a month, told no longer available,was told on here that the elbow conncetors were being sold on ebay in alloy metal. sometimes

oh darn, well the tank that was fitted originally had solid connectors(tank was for a 750 carbed engine) but this tank from donor is bigger and the fuel pump is twice the size of other...

what these connectors called, will go to local FIAT dealer and take the broken one and ask if replacement......not holding much hope tho..

have got a fair few weeks left yet before i need to fit tank so will searching and hoping.

cheers.

oh the part number on the unit that the red connector gors to is 0611/049

original engine was a 750 carbed, the donor is a 1.0 spi, the tank i was cleaning was the spi one.....this is larger tank then the 750(so have to do some jiggeyr pokery to make it fit)..not sure what i can do now..unless i could fit an after market 'T' piece bolted in with petrol proof washers....

oh man well gutted...
