Which Fuel Pump/Sender Unit

Hi Rich, I tried to find that but do not think they make it anymore. I tried Hylomar Hylolyte Red which I was told is the same stuff and also tried Hylomar Universal Blue but still leaks, even bought a brand new rubber gasket.

Just been onto ebay and bought another fuel sender unit and will try that with the sealant and see if that works.

I problem/challenge, is the fuel pump (on the turbo coupe anyway), has a separate sender unit. So needed another hole. Was an easy upgrade as well when I upgraded engine. Was not sure if original would cope.

Fingers crossed the fuel leak I have had for the past two years has been sorted.

A new (secondhand) fuel sender and hylolyte red 100 was all it needed, just hope the fuel gauge is reading correctly as I do not want to take it off again to adjust.

Re comment from limpabit, how would I know if I need a more powerful pump ? Seems to work ok now, engines runs smoothly. would an undersized pump just limit the power or would it cause the engine to run roughly. Can you fit an additional unit in line ?

Arrrggghh now the clutch slave cylinder has just given up, it never seems to end 😀

Only way to know for sure, is run a fuel pressure gauge to check pressure.

If pump is not up to the job, will cause engine to run lean and cause all sorts.

As for slave, can get a cheap rebuild kit for it.
