Technical Tipo Fuel Pump

[daKlone]

Just thought I'd post this in case it helps someone else:

The fuel pump on my wifes Tipo gave out the other day, and after a hard time finding a new one, I tracked one down at Southern Carbs (020 8540 2723) for the pretty reasonable price of £65 + P&P.

It's the Bosch in-tank one (part number 0 580 453 502) from a 1994 1.4 ie S. Fiat don't seem to list the pump on it's own, you have to buy the whole assembly (which is anything from £120 upwards).

Might be worth speaking to them if you've had the same trouble.

Regards,

just to add.you do not have to use a fiat/bosch fuel pump.you can use a universal one as long as the fuel pressure is similar.it will be marked on both pumps.cost of pump inc vat approx £30.

Does anyone know how to get the pump out of the rubber surround?

Oh, and cheers Sumplug I'll bear that in mind next time!

HI daklone

I've just joined the forum. I have the same problem - how do I get the collar off? What was the answer that solved your problem? (I can't see the solution in the forum listings
