There is a website called www.rockauto.com that shows the square body
Facet type pump for $57.95(I think), but it is negative ground. It
could be that Facet no longer makes it because it is marketed by
Beck-Arnley. If you go to the site look under say a 1970 MGB for this
pump and also other choices including an original SU. It states that it
is 1 1/2 -3 1/2 psi.
Rock Auto usually has very good prices.

I haven't had the trouble on my TD but I don't drive it that much. On
my A I got so disgusted with SU pumps after going through three brand
new ones in one summer, I replaced it with the one from Autozone that
was identical to the Facet and never again had a problem.
I doubt it is vapor lock, just a bad pump. They get hot and quit
working. The old one stays in place for looks because you can pump
through it.

Subject: [Mg-t] Solid State Fuel Pump
Every summer I fight vapor lock problems in my TD. It has already
started
this year in Florida. Installing a metal "heat shield" between the exhaust
manifold and the fuel bowls has only had minimal effect. In my search, I
read that many TD owners install a low pressure Facet solid-state fuel
pump
by the tank to PUSH the fuel to the SU electric pumps. Does anyone have a
part number for the correct Facet (or other manufacturer) pump?
Requirements: My TD has NEGATIVE ground. SU fuel pumps 1.5-4 psi, approx 4
GPH.
Thanks
