1982 fuel pump control unit

Featured Replies

I need to replace my fuel pump control unit, with 6 pins. I am having a difficult time locating this part. Does anyone know how to find one?

I have seen figures of mid two hundred dollars if still available new

Many seem to find used for replacement

I threw one out!

What can be wired in is an electrical safety cut out unit as used for same purpose in propane fuelled conversions, only to shut off a relay for gas pressure safety solenoid.

They are mostly four wires

Coil signal , forget if pos or neg, think neg

Wire out carries 12v pos to power up pump or pump relay

 

Over here an ‘82 won’t have that fuel pump cut relay module thingy. 

You sure yours has one? 

Cheers

I have the same problem. on my hatchback ..I have been told to just by pass it but .... I too would rather fix it "The right way" haha I may try and chase down a used one 

As recent as two days ago I was talking to a mate about how to rig one up. Have a closed relay intercept the fuel pump power  wire. The trigger wires are ignition and the earth - from the oil pressure light. 

The idea is that when you don’t have oil pressure the fuel pump turns off. You could use the alternator warning light too. Yes you loose the priming function but this could easily be negated with a momentary switch to bypass the oil pressure light trigger. Push this button for several seconds and you’re primed ready to go ;)

Triumph had a roll over protection device as well as oil pressure switch ignition cut out
