Hi all,
Just had a fuel pump fail. The motor is a standard metro turbo transplanted into a mini. I have another bosch pump here that is off a 3.0 litre nissan motor, runs at about 55psi. Will the standard metro turbo pressure regulator cope with this or should I look for something that operates at lower pressure?

The Metro ones gives about 36 psi, i tried a pump from a a big BMW and it damaged my regulator. Though i never measured the exact pressure it gave, i'm guessing it was somewhat higher than the Metro item.

a 55psi pump should be fine. I'm using a 65psi pump no problems.

Any style injection pump should fit the bill.

Thing to watch is the flow rate on some larger pumps. If the flow is to high you culd get the pump pumpinping more fuel than the return can carry, this will give you a pressure build up in the reg.

Fitted the pump off the nissan, no problems so far. But it sure seems to have fixed some niggling performance problems. Time will tell.
Thanks for you help.

Do you know whether this Fuel Pump would be suitable? The pressure looks ok but I'm not sure about the flow rate?
