- If I am not concerned about keeping the car mint, is a fuel pump from Autonation ok to put on the car given correct sizes and pressures? Geoff -- Geoffrey Gallaway || Die duemmsten Bauern haben die d

- I do believe it should work. I think the pressure has to be @ 3psi or less. The B I bought has a pressure regulator on it so I presume I have some sort of aftermarket pump. Check the MGA archives on

- I'd say: clean (with a fine embrassive paper) the contacts inside the pump as a first go is possibly a more cheap solution. Cheers, Hans I'd say a new fuel pump is in order, or will be shortly when t
