He is heat wrapping them and moving them away from the engine. It makes sense as apparently the gas is going to and from the engine, looping to the fuel pump. If the gas gets too hot, it can slow or stop the impeller. This might be the issue that has plagued many folks. We'll see. I do know i have the best guy working on it.

It would be great if that is the problem and there is an easy fix. I’d be interested to hear what some of the mechanically minded people on here (Rog, that includes you as the experienced fuel pump fitter on the Albert Ball Memorial trip this year!) think.


I don't think there should be much to worry about regarding reliability. The trip is part sponsored by Morgan and I hear Morgan USA has a strong reputation.

I imagine this would have been one of the best prepared M3W's to hit the road and there's NO way Morgan will let this car fail in such a public event.

It is disconcerting that it has broken down a couple of times early in the trip but there will be parts and expertise a plenty.

Push on Will and safe travels...
