Hi everybody,
The fuel pump in my '73 914 2.0L FI is leaking and I need to replace it. I was a bit upset to discover that this part is discontinued, and then I found "rebuilds" at AutomobileAtlanta. Well, after installing three of their so called "rebuilds" that were not working, they admitted that they are selling imitations made in China (http://www.autoatlanta.org/detail.lasso?Pa...ial_number=7902). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) They will refund me, but what a watse of time. Now, I am not sure of what I can do. I searched the web, and all I can find are all kinds of fuel pumps for the 914 (like inline fuel pumps) that have only two hose connections on them. Mine has three. I also read discussion threads from people using non-oem fuel pumps in their 914s and some of them had problems after a while. In other words, I would feel much better, if I could find an OEM fuel pump. Do you know if someone still sells them? Another alternative would be to fix my fuel pump, but I don't know if that is possible at all. Cheers! JF |

Any fuel pump that meets the pressure rating/flow/gpm for your carb or fuel injection system will work. If you need more delivery points, down stream splitters work.
Just make sure the hoses, filters and fittings exceed the pressure rating for the pump. |

The original fuel pump in my car has three hose connecitons, whereas other ones only have two. What should I do about that third connection? I think it goes back to the fuel tank.
Cheers! JF |
