Ahhhhh OK so needs to go under the car somewhere? Thinking out loud, and its getting into the dark-realms of Metro knowledge here, is the sender unit/pickup in the tank the same for a Metro turbo as any other Metro? Or does the turbo have a larger bore pick-up pipe? |

Better late than never. look at the differential in the inlet and outlet to the pump. The pump inlet will allow the pump to scavenge more fuel than it can supply thus tank pipe bore needs to be of equal size or larger. If not the fuel will stall inside the pump and flow will cease. The early metro turbos had a resistor fitted to the fuel pump to slow it down this will offset the cavitation but the only real solution is to fit larger internal bore piping to your tank. I battled with this for over a year. like you my motor came from a running car the only thing i did not use from the donor was the fuel tank when I looked at the setup thats exactly what I saw on the tank a 10mmi/d outlet that fed into the pump. Hope this helps.
