January 4, 200620 yr Hi, everybody, Can somebody tell me something about the fuel pump on a '86 carbureted GL 1800,4WD Sooby. My car is with fuel pump down. Please give me some part code or a similar car type or maybe a symilar puel punp type. Thank you.
January 4, 200620 yr I have a universal-type inline electric fuel pump on mine. You just need to make sure the fuel pump is for a carbureted vehicle, as fuel injected pumps put out much higher pressure and will make your carburetor flood.
January 4, 200620 yr Author Can you tell me something about codes or maybe a model of a car where can be found a similary pump?
January 4, 200620 yr It's just a universal pump. It will fit any car that's carbureted and has an inline electric fuel pump or that's converted to use an electric pump. Here's a link to the part on partsamerica.com: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=MST&mfrpartnumber=E8016S&parttype=52&ptset=A If you follow the link, there's a link on the part detail that lists all the cars the pump fits.
January 4, 200620 yr The Holley RED or BLUE pump is an affordable upgrade. The RED ones can be found on ebay for cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HOLLEY-CPH-110-RACING-FUEL-PUMP-DRAG-RACE-PRO-STREET_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33555QQitemZ8027303395QQrdZ1
January 4, 200620 yr Author Subarian, this pump has the same caracteristics like the original one? ( debth, delivery pressure)
January 4, 200620 yr Mine fit in the stock location with very little work. I had to change the bracket a little bit and one of the fuel lines, and also the electrical connector. Fuel delivery is comparable to the stock pump. Also replace the fuel filter at the same time.
January 5, 200620 yr I have a universal-type inline electric fuel pump on mine. You just need to make sure the fuel pump is for a carbureted vehicle, as fuel injected pumps put out much higher pressure and will make your carburetor flood. Conversely, a pump for a carb'd vehicle will start, but not run, a fuel injected wagon. Experience speaking there. :-/ -=Russ=-
January 5, 200620 yr remember, you can mount the new one in the engine bay instead of under the car, just remove the old pump and add a section of hose to replace the space where the old pump use to be, then plumb in the new pump and run power to it via a toggle switch for added security or run it off the existing wiring. like everyone else said, dont get a fuel injection pump. ~Josh~
January 5, 200620 yr Author The bigest problem is that here in Europe, it,s dificult to find parts for American machines. Today bought a fuel pump for an injection car but the deyt and pressure of the fuel is too high. Can someone tell me a machine model ( an europen one) where ti fit a pump like mine? Or maybe has anyone a bosch code of an equivalent pump?
January 5, 200620 yr Autozone lists Bosch part number 69405. In one of my earlier posts, I included a link to a bunch of cars that use comparable inline pumps.
January 5, 200620 yr Hi, What's the problem? The fuel pumps on these are pretty rugged, but do need a good power supply to run. Check the electric feed and ground to the unit - if the pump's at fault replacing it should work, if not it could be poor quality fuel, or crud in the fuel tank. Is there an in line filter to renew? Presume you've eliminated everything else such as ignition system and carb problems. I had a brat with running problems - turned out that the fuel pump wasn't getting enough electrical power from corroded terminal to it!

January 5, 200620 yr I've used a universal carberated fuel pump from this company with excellent results: www.mrgasket.com You may be able to get one thru mail order. They are about 1/3 the price of an OEM pump. You could relocate the pump in the engine bay as mentioned above, but I would reccommend leaving the pump underneath, and moving only the filter to the engine bay (some models have the filter located next to the pump). Besides the wiring issue, the pump would probably have to work harder {and wear out faster} if it were further upstream in the fuel system. Maybe it was just my imagination, but but fuel flow seemed stronger and smoother with the seperation between the pump and fuel filter. good luck, John

If the fuel pump control unit goes out, your fuel pump will not run. If it really is the fuel pump and your having difficulty finding a compatable replacement, why not try a Junk Yard or Auto recycling place? Just a thought?

January 5, 200620 yr On carbureted Subarus, it's really easy to bypass the fuel pump control circuit. All you do is run a wire from the + terminal on your coil to the + wire of the pump. The other wire goes to ground. The pump runs whenever the ignition is on, but since it's a recirculating system, that's not a problem.
January 6, 200620 yr Author Hi everybody! The problem was that the pump inside has a Plunger wich sends the fuel to the carburetor. But this plunger weared the cylinder where it's working so the blocking of the plunger was inevitable. The fault wasn't electrical because with a control lamp first of all I controlled the power taping and it was OK. Then I found the pump of an EJ10 what fittes perfectly and ready to go. Than you for your kind help.
