Yeah mine was fine, but the next day it was no go. Pulled it all out and realised the pickup had come off, probably due to using the wrong hosing which had warped after being in fuel for a night.

Then was told it was wrong pump, then told it was ok.

So the orginal is in and I need to install the Bosch again *big sigh*!

shane what went wrong?

i did mine and it seemed to go fine

nah shane, the stock pickup reaches into the tank heaps more than the 040

the 040 is built into the pump so the pump has to be mounted further down the pickup

i havent run it down too far but i pushed it down to the empty bar and it was still running so i think its not too bad

probably the best method is too actually soak the rubber in petrol overnight so that it expands before you put it in..

my pickup fell off.. drove it around the block few times.. opened it up again.. saw it had come off.. put it back on.. drove around block.. opened up again next day just to check .. seems to have been ok since.

yeah... it was a bit difficult to find the spot.. but i checked the stock spot a few times just to see where it sat stock.. then made sure the aftermarket one went in exact same spot.

james: do you have a bill from your work yet?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
