DIY Fuel pump refit for under $50!
« on: June 29, 2019, 23:19:04 pm »
So my high pressure fuel pump was acting up and I looked at the option of purchasing OEM replacements but the cost seemed excessive for an inline fuel pump on a 4L engine.
I elected to get a knock-off fuel pump from ebay for $25.  If you want to go "high-end" then the Bosche-44 (for $90) is a great target.  mine comes off the same factory line in eastern europe but doesn't get stamped bosche.
I cut down the original bracket got rid of the low pressure pump completely, pushed the overflow directly back to the tank, and used the original wire harness.  Finally I mounted the new pump under the seat for service accessibility.

Hope my experience can save someone else a few bones.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Anyone know the part number for both fuel pumps?
