Hi All,

Not expecting much here, but it appears my fuel pump has died today. Power still getting through to the pump, but no action from the pump.

What is a std replacement that i can get for it ?

Any other ideas on tips to try -i have already banged on the tank area around where the pump is to see if i could jolt it into life

Many Thanks

In the end the problem was very simple. I was parked on a road with some camber to the gutter. Fuel was just above reserve (no light on yet), but the angle of the road meant the pickup wasn't getting any juice. Apparently the fuel pump won't even make a noise if it can't sense fuel around it's pickup. 20ltrs more fuel in it, and away i go.

Mods: Delete this thread if you wish.

I have just bought a stagea and it had same problem. Previous owner upgraded fuel pump but still does it. Shocking for stalling on right turns under 1/4 of tank but stalled going round a round about with half a tank today. Is there any solution to this problem yet?

^^ Comprehensive solution there Bob

Yep. Obviously not for everybody. I should have done it under the floor. Even with a soundproofed steel box over it I still have to turn the stereo up a lot to drown out the sound of the Bosch 044!!

Any sensible upgrades worth doing to the standard stag fuel pump?

I'm looking at upgrading mine for future mods...

Directly wiring is good for any pump. Replace your old stocker with a brand new pump (not e.g. a second hand pump out of a GTR) as it will fail sooner or later.

Cheap is Walbro better is Nismo or Denso. I have a Bosch 044 ( as well as a Walbro) and it is Very Noisy Indeed!

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
