Hi all
I am having a fuel pump issue so the I am on the hunt for a replacement/fix. I have been ringing around most of the morning and early afternoon trying to get some fuel pump information.
GU 4.5 litre 2000 Y61
We had the LPG conversion done in 2009, however that business is no longer operating - so not helpful
I only have the sub-tank for petrol, the main tank has been removed.
Ok so the issue is that I am not getting fuel, I have checked fuses and relays and I am getting power to the pump assembly for the sub-tank. I can start and run the car on Gas but with some resistance having to turn it over for a while longer, I have been told the LPG system requires a petrol boost to start up?
What I am trying to figure out is if the reserve tank fuel pump is the correct/original pump for that tank or has the main tank pump been installed in the sub-tank. I'm going around in circles trying to work this out as I have read that the pressure of the pumps may differ. My 'Gregorys' manual has pictures of both and they look very similar. The one I have however looks more like the sub-tank one. My question is if the sub-tank pump has enough PSI to run the car on fuel, or as I said if the main tank pump has been put into the sub-tank. As I said the manual photos I have seen give me a 90% positive it is the sub-tank pump.
I've got a price from Nissan for the sub tank being $450+ tax, and the main and one being $706 plus tax ... ouch!
I have numbers on the existing pump, being A42-S04 007 9X15D, however when I gave those numbers to Nissan they said nothing listed for that? Maybe no genuine but it does have the Nissan seal on it (for whatever that is worth)
So I then contacted Repco and they were in the same situation, they advised they would simply call Nissan with the same number and so on.
I then called Covs Parts and gave them the number, after which they said they have a non genuine pump for $133.00 - big difference! I need this fixed ASAP so I have confirmed the order of that pump.
Meanwhile I am hoping someone here can maybe shed come light on this for me.
Thanks
Greg
