Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - M3W Fuel Pump Replacement

Planenut and I have got together to produce these instructions on how to replace the standard (Landrover Discovery) fuel pump with a more reliable aftermarket pump. There seem to have been quite a few failures recently so this is a recommended upgrade, especially if you have long trips planned.

M3W Fuel Pump Replacement

Please let me know if you spot any mistakes or have suggestions on how the document may be improved. It will shortly also be available via the Morgan Three Wheeler Club web site.

I had the fuse holder and the plastic of the fuse melted after several years of operation with a Walbro GSS342 authentic 255 liters hour pump. I repaired it by cutting the two wires and put a single large size fuse holder, subsequently I I replaced the pump with an authentic Walbro GSS278 which provides 168 liters per hour and the electricity consumption drops by around 5 amps, the 132 tranny engine on the circuit must be more than 25 liters per km and everything works perfectly well, the mini fuse holder can be a fragile element for high amperage.

Glencoe now send out this info with the Walbro M3W kit. Seems that dipping the hose ends in boiling water doesn't do the trick!

Many thanks to Bob for passing the sheet on to me.
