These Bosch units are good pushers but not very good suckers! A lot of 
cars that have them as standard equipment have a small priming pump and 
a small fuel cannister on top of the pump to ensure fuel supply. 

Suggest you use an additional small solid state pre-pump to prime the 
Bosch. The cheap ones that replace ordinary petrol pumps (Facit??) at 
4psi are ideal to suck the feul through the CAV filter and supply the 
Bosch pump. Then placement of Bosch pump is not as critical.

Small numbers are stamped on the pump body and these are the codes for 
the various applications , most pumps are 5BAR pressure but vary in the 
rate of fuel delivered. Bosch people have some chart which interpets 
this code if you give them the numbers.

If somebody has this information or knows where it is, could they post 
it??
