MG TD TF 1500 - SU electronic fuel pump

Does anyone have any idea why Moss Motors is no onger offering the electronic SU fuel pumps they were offering a few months ago ? I ve heard they were having a lot of problems but what problems ? Does anyone have good or bad experience with them ?
Eduardo Espinosa

Eduardo,
While I haven't had any experience with the electronic fuel pumps
that Moss offered, I have developed an solid state modification that I
put into fuel pumps and I have experienced a problem that I am sure is
plaguing the other electronic pumps that are offered. There is a
magnetic shading piece that has to be adjusted correctly for the pumps
to run reliably and I suspect that this has not been adjusted or is
providing insufficient shading on the electronic pumps. It took a lot
of experimentation on my part to get everything set up correctly on the
pumps that I modify.

Sincerely,
Dave

I just saw electronic fuel pumps in the Moss accessories catalog. It appears that they still sell them.

Last winter, I bought a Purolator fuel pump which appears identical to the Moss item and installed it with a separate switch. It pumps through the inoperative SU as advertised and costs only about $30 compared to the Moss price. I bought it from Parts America.

Suggest you look at the Burlen Company who now manufacture SU Carburettors and pumps including an electronic SU Pump - or will sell you the conversion kit for your existing pump. See:
