[TR] TR3A Fuel pump

[Cliff Hansen]

That worked for me until I parked facing uphill when low on fuel and got air in the line between the pump and tank. So I moved the pump down to the inside of the frame rail. The pump failed a few weeks later (probably got clogged) so I went back to the mechanical pump and now don't think about it.

Triumph adventures.

I ran a facet at least 10 years ago - relying on Randalls choice of part numbers.

I was in a hurry and found a chevy fuel blanking plate that I hear fit the Triumph just fine - and it does.  With blanking plate and pump in hand I saw the mounting holes were almost identical.

I took some old MG rubber exahust mounts and sandwiched them between the blanking plate and my new pump and presented it to the engine.  It's been relatively quiet in operation and have had no issues with the mounting location.  By the way it squirted gas, it must be close to the level of the bottom of the tank.
