MG TD TF 1500 - SU Fuel Pump

Gents

I own TF4056, production date 16/03/1954. It's in a million bits - but that's another story.

The fuel pump I removed from the chassis has a tag still attached - AUA154.

Is this the model pump originally fitted to 1250cc TFs?

It is amazing what you find when you take things apart gently. The seats in the car had been recovered in red. I lifted the red cover off and the complete original green seat covering was still underneath.

Ian, When I uncovered my TD's (24885) overstuffed seat, I found that there were 2 hidden layers! The bottom was red; meaning that the acorn green paint could not have been origional. Sometimes restoring these cars is like an archeological dig!

The AUA 154 is a later version of the original AUA 54, but may be slightly shorter. It was available as a replacement, and perhaps superceded the original part.
I certainly would not be slavish in replacing it.

Ian - Tom is correct, the AUA 154 is a later version of the original AUA 54, which had a longer coil housing and coil. Be happy with the AUA 154, it is a better pump than the original. Today's equivalent of both of the above pumps is an AZX 1331. Between the original AUA 54 and today's AZX 1331, there are probably half dozen different designations for the high pressure pumps, with the difference in each pump being so minor that it is difficult to determine.

Paul - Go to the MG Auctions site at: http://www.mgauctionwatch.com/auctions.php?model=General
Click on SU, then Fuel pumps and finally on UK. You will fine a whole plethora of pumps listed on E-bay. Any of the High Pressure L type pumps will work in place of the AUA 154. Unless it is a relative new pump, it will not have AUA 154 on it anywhere, so you can call it whatever you want to. Cheers - Dave
