Wortham blake fuel pump

[johnny nosh]

Hello again

Yes I`m back, not with a problem, just looking for

advice.

 

As you may or may not know I have been having problems with

gearbox output flange, sheered bolts and the like.

 

Well that is all sorted now ( touch wood ) but I did notice the fuel

pump was leaking a little and thought I would replace it.

 

I contacted a company in north walsham called small ford parts

and bought a new fuel pump ( they were very good by the way)

 

I fitted the new fuel pump to the wortham blake converted ford

anglia 105e engine and the difference in performance was staggering ! ! !

 

No poping and banging, no pause for the fuel to get to the carb and

no throttle lag. In short she feels like a new boat ! ! !

 

The advice I am looking for is - the fuel pump I replaced had a

blue hammerite painted brass bowl and the new pump has a

glass bowl.

 

What is the difference ? ?

Oh and the new pump has no primer lever under it

will it make any difference ?

 

Hope to hear from you soon

All the best

Sounds like a 105E car pump, which had a glass bowl and no primer lever. You may run into trouble with the glass bowl with the BSS. Will the brass bowl fit?

[johnny nosh]

Yes the brass bowl is the same dimentions

as the glass one.

What is the problem with bss and glass bowls ?

In case it breaks or cracks and lets petrol flood out BOOOOM!!!!!    There should be a filter under there too, which lifts off to clean it.

Yes there is a gauze filter inside the fuel pump

It is brand new , so is the fuel pump.

 

I see where you are comming from with the glass

bowl but like all good " tinkers " I have not thrown the

old pump away and I`ll replace the glass bowl with the

brass bowl at the weekend.

Thats the idea. Make sure it sits nicely on the rubber ring.

I will

Thanks for the info
