Hi,

I have a MkII BT7, which is not particularly relevant here as it has an
AUF301 SU fuel pump which my manual says is from the "Later convertible
model MarkIII".

I have the pump in front of me as I type. It has a condenser (item 25 on
page DDD.13 if you've got the same hymn sheet as me).

So, when I take the car from positive to negative earth, what do I do to the
pump?

I've dug through my collated info on this topic and the collected wisdom is
a bit contradictory:-

1)       Leave as is, but switch the leads around. Is that only for pumps
with diodes fitted instead of condensers?

2)       Leave as is.

3)       Replace condenser with a diode.

4)       Replace condenser with Zener 20-28 volt diode.

5)       Fit a diode, CSX1004, is what Burlen Fuels (the SU people in UK)
say. I suspect that they are just saying "Send money, NOW" but being polite.

 

Maybe a CZX1004 is a Zener???

 

What's to do here?

 

Thanks,

Simon.
