hi i got my cooper tank, with the pump. Well i think its the pump, is it like a round thing bolted on the side, but on the inwide if you know what i mean? A large round disk? It has two electrical connections on it and two 8mm pipes coming out? Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

the way i have done it is to use 8mm i/d fuel injection rubber pipe, down the tank and out under the car where it meets the 2 copper fuel pipes running the length of the car, these are upswept to stop them catching and the pipes just join onto the copper pipes

if your still uncertain about pipe connection undo the 10mm nuts and lift the gold part with the pump on out of the tank(if youve not fitted it) and its easy to see which is return and feed.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

no its the actuall mount where the strap bolts into , the tank wont even slot into place because of that mount. Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt
