Hi fellow 6-Packers and happy holiday season to you all!!
A few weeks back I discovered that the factory-original OE mechanical fuel =
pump on my TR6 was leaking fuel into the crank case - not a good situation!=
=C2=A0 I bought a rebuild kit but was shocked to learn that the ONE seal wh=
ich isn't included/available is the crucial one which seals the "fuel strea=
m" (that is, the part of the pump through which fuel passes) from the crank=
 case. =C2=A0
So, I then bought one of the "OE reproduction" pumps from Moss.=C2=A0 Looke=
d very nice, has the manual priming lever, etc.=C2=A0 I fitted it to the ca=
r, took it for a drive, and thought "great, another job completed".=C2=A0 A=
 few hours later I went into the garage and was hit with the strong smell o=
f gasoline.=C2=A0 The BRAND NEW pump was leaking from the top cover, result=
ing in a big puddle of fuel under the car.=C2=A0 I've also determined that =
the manually priming lever doesn't function!!=C2=A0 Needless to say, the ne=
w pump is going in the trash.
Question for all of you - can you recommend a company who does high-quality=
 work rebuilding our OE mechanical fuel pumps?=C2=A0 I'm not interested in =
buying another reproduction from Moss.=C2=A0 I want to get my factory-origi=
nal pump rebuilt and hopefully have it last another 50 years!!

Tim,

I know this issue has been talked about many times in the past but my 
advice is to replace the stock pump with a Facet or similar pump mounted 
close to the fuel tank. Remove the mechanical pump and replace with a 
blocking plate.

I mounted a fuel regulator where the pump was on all my 3 Triumphs. The 
4 was done first well over 15 years ago and no problems. The 3 followed 
a year later and when I did my 72 6 it got the same treatment.

All 3 have been flawless. No leaks, drips or errors! And when I turn on 
the ignition, the carbs are primed by the time I pull out the choke!

Tim,

I know this issue has been talked about many times in the past but my =
advice is to replace the stock pump with a Facet or similar pump mounted =
close to the fuel tank. Remove the mechanical pump and replace with a =
blocking plate.=20

I mounted a fuel regulator where the pump was on all my 3 Triumphs. The =
4 was done first well over 15 years ago and no problems. The 3 followed =
a year later and when I did my 72 6 it got the same treatment.=20

All 3 have been flawless. No leaks, drips or errors! And when I turn on =
the ignition, the carbs are primed by the time I pull out the choke!

Bob

=20

A few weeks back I discovered that the factory-original OE mechanical =
fuel pump on my TR6 was leaking fuel into the crank case - not a good =
situation!  I bought a rebuild kit but was shocked to learn that the ONE =
seal which isn't included/available is the crucial one which seals the =
"fuel stream" (that is, the part of the pump through which fuel passes) =
from the crank case. =20

=20

So, I then bought one of the "OE reproduction" pumps from Moss.  Looked =
very nice, has the manual priming lever, etc.  I fitted it to the car, =
took it for a drive, and thought "great, another job completed".  A few =
hours later I went into the garage and was hit with the strong smell of =
gasoline.  The BRAND NEW pump was leaking from the top cover, resulting =
in a big puddle of fuel under the car.  I've also determined that the =
manually priming lever doesn't function!!  Needless to say, the new pump =
is going in the trash.

=20

Question for all of you - can you recommend a company who does =
high-quality work rebuilding our OE mechanical fuel pumps?  I'm not =
interested in buying another reproduction from Moss.  I want to get my =
factory-original pump rebuilt and hopefully have it last another 50 =
years!!

Tim Holbrook

 Hi all,
Well as usual, the 6-Pack list comes through with great advice!=C2=A0 You'v=
e convinced me - I'm going to convert to an electric pump.=C2=A0 It'll be a=
 late January project most likely, as the car is currently in storage due t=
o an overfilled garage here at home (but will be selling my '97 M3 soon I h=
ope, and then the TR6 can come home).
By the way - I called Moss today to tell them about the issue with the pump=
 and my desire to return it, and they gave me a full refund (including refu=
nd of the shipping charge) no questions asked, and didn't even require me t=
o send the defective unit back to them (largely because it has of course ha=
d gasoline passing through it and therefore could be troublesome to ship).=
=C2=A0 Now that's great service!!
Again, your quick feedback is much appreciated - happy holidays all!
Regards,Tim

Tim,

I know this issue has been talked about many times in the past but my advic=
e is to replace the stock pump with a Facet or similar pump mounted close t=
o the fuel tank. Remove the mechanical pump and replace with a blocking pla=
te.=20

I mounted a fuel regulator where the pump was on all my 3 Triumphs. The 4 w=
as done first well over 15 years ago and no problems. The 3 followed a year=
 later and when I did my 72 6 it got the same treatment.=20

All 3 have been flawless. No leaks, drips or errors! And when I turn on the=
 ignition, the carbs are primed by the time I pull out the choke!

Bob

I've always had good customer relations with Moss. Most recently I received
an MGB caliper that the fluid bleed port didn't get drilled! Got rectified
quickly.
