MG TD TF 1500 - TD fuel pump specifications


Hello,

I am looking for a TD original fuel pump. I know that it is a SU model, but is there any more detailed specification for it, so that I do not confuse it with newer models?

On another hand. Is it true that the original pump stops pumping i.e. ticking, when fuel at the outlet (that is at the carb) reaches the operation pressure?

Any input will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

YES:- SU fuel pump ticks when it is pumping. When the carbs are full and the floats stop further fuel inflow, back pressure will build in the fuel line and the ticking stops. When the engine is running the SUs tick once every few seconds.

If you have no ticking it means the pump is dead. If you have very fast ticking which never stops check for either fuel freely flowing from a cracked line (pump working!) or no fuel at all (pump not working).

Jesus - The pump you need is part number AUA 25. It is a low pressure (0.75 - 1.5 PSI) pump with a volume of approx 1.2 pints per minute. The pump is available from Burlen Fuel http://www.burlen.co.uk/ or from most suppliers that handle parts for T series MGs. Good luck - Dave
