Hi,
I am looking for a fuel pump for a fairly standard glanza. I had put a walbro in a few years ago but I checked it after lying idle for a couple of years and it has completely rusted so need a new item.

Suggestions on where to order from please?

Link to the one I took out in case you want to see how fooked it was.

Two things Dy:

1) I could hunt out a used one that's been lying on the shelf and send it down but for all the price of a new one you'd be better off with that.

2) From the video it looks like you have water in the fuel so you need to drain that all out of there. If it's done that inside the tank imagine what it could be doing inside the hard lines, filter and injectors. Nasty! Drain and refill with fresh stuff asap.

Thanks for all the replies lads. Was thinking there is deffo some moisture in there, with the damp in this poxy country I am not surprised.
I have a pump that I use for getting oil out via the dipstick hole, will that be okay for removing the petrol/shite/water in the tank do you think?

Will get on to TD and grab a new pump.

On a side note - I had the pump out in about 4 minutes. I remember back in the day thinking it was a big job :p

Have been reading quite a bit on the new e10 fuel that is being introduced later in the year. What you are seeing in the tank has all the hallmarks of what could happen in a classic car running on it.

Might be worth checking if thats e5 fuel thats been left in the tank. It absorbs moisture and eats rubber as its a solvent.

The new stuff is a bit stronger which is a worry.

Oh and yes you can pull the old fuel out with a suction pump. Once the new pump is installed and there's fresh juice in the tank you can pop the return pipe off and pump the fuel thats in the rail and lines into a container.

After that get the fuel filter changed to be 100%
 
similar to jay, i have a stock glanza pump here/Caribbean you could have for free...but to ship it to you would not be worth it, especially at this time with covid19 delays.

yeah, you need to do a flush and check all the fuel fittings/lines and change the fuel filter.

have to be careful with these ethanol based fuels, they can cause damage if left laying around for a while, maybe next time drain the tank before putting the car in storage or try to get ethanol free gasoline in there if storing for a short period
