landrover598 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Anyone got any ideas of what sort of ltr/min flow a rover v8 electric fuel pump would produce ? And would using it to pump derv do it any damage ? The reason i ask is, i'm planning on fitting another 90 underseat tank, on the passengers side, and then using the pump to transfer the derv to the main tank.

western Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 This is the twin tank system that LR fitted to pre Td5 110's. no 2nd fuel pump just a on/off electrically switched valve for the underseat tank, the on/off rocker switch fits on the underside of the dash to the right of the steering column. thought this might help.

A Red Top will do 170 litres per hour.... and has bigger 1/4" rather than 1/8" ports that the RRC leccie pump has.... I sell them for £ 66.41 inc vat and can happily sort you out a good deal on any hoses to fit it and the tanks etc...... This pump would be a remote fitting and would self prime - just fit a switch and use it as a transfer pump..... Many thanks david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul (Moose on here) did exactly this on his truck, it does work but the transfer couldnt really be described as rapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I used a caravan water pump, OK on diesel but NOT petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtail4x4 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I used a caravan water pump, OK on diesel but NOT petrol. and they are cheap if not self priming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I use my old EFi pump to move diesel from tank to tank. Doesn't seem to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardAllen Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I use a pressure pump from vehicle wiring products to transfer fuel from a rear TD5 tank to the front on my 90. It's not quick, but it does transfer fuel a good deal quicker than the 300TDi uses it. Incidentally, In the winter snow I had to use a Shurflo water pump to transfer heating oil in an emergency. It worked for a fair while, but I completely knackered the valve diapragm and had to by a replacement. Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks for the replies, so if i run a pair of standard pumps, it should be able to drain a 90 tank in about 10 / 15 minutes. Whilst on the subject, any recomendations for a flush fitting universal fuel filler cap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
