Diesel fuel pump ESR111


P38 Paul

Recommended Posts

Time has come to replace the fuel pump again on the P38 , this will be the forth time I have done this job with the last one only lasting around 15000 miles , can anyone advise me on a brand that may last a bit longer than this aftermarket one that is currently fitted to the car , cheers .

That sounds bonkers.  Bearmach run a 3 year warranty with their own brand so maybe that’s a way forward?

 

have you checked the fuel lines to make sure the return line isn’t perished and letting air back into the pump?  Not sure if that would make it run dry on occasion?

Hi , that was a Bearmach pump that I had fitted but it had run out of warranty as it took me around three & a half years to cover the 15000 miles before the pump started to fail again .

No pictures, but I have done this a couple of times now:

- cut the insulation and carpet inside the right rear seat mounts at the sides and front and peel it away to expose the floor
- grind (carefully) through both high areas closest to the seat mounts, preferably with a small disc so you can't slide through too deep
- drill out the spot welds at the front and fold back the floor section
- I use screws at the front with kit and tape to cover the cuts when reassembling, double sided tape or carpet adhesive can be used for the trim

There is a video on Youtube a swede doing it on a Diesel. He gives the dimensions. 

I thought about doing it on my 4.6 petrol then I remembered I barbequed a P38 last year draini9ng the fuel tank and opted to take the tank out instead
