(FUEL/INTAKE) HELP! Stock Fuel Pump Direction Question
 

Hey Guys,

Well, my Mallory Comp 70 died two days ago! It's got less than 10,000km on it and it's JUST out of warranty.

Anyway, I got a replacement (stock) fuel pump from a friend to tie me over and get the car home, but I don't know which of the tubes is "in" and which is "out"

The stock fuel pump is kinda L-shaped. There's one tube going straight into the pump like a straw goes into a pepsi cup. The other tube comes out the side of the body of the pump.

Which one of these is IN and which one is OUT?

Locate the arrow. nooobbbbb :cool:

Test it w/some wires and a cup of water.

There is no arrow. It's a rusted-to-shit stock pump off my friend's parts car :p:

I found out though. I didn't want to put water through my pump... and searches found out nothing.

So how did I find out?

Everybody yell it with me now


RTFM!


I looked closely at the diagram showing how the lines went from the tank to the carb in the Heynes (or FSM, they have the same diagram)

Lo and behold, there it was.

The answer is:

The one sticking out the side at the bottom of the "L" shape is the "IN" from the fuel filter/tank. The one that looks like a straw in a pepsi cup is the "OUT" to the carb.

Hopefully this will be easy enough to find when someone else needs it!
