I've got a leaky fuel pump. It's the AC mechanical type and fuel seems to be seeping out from somewhere. I've checked previous threads and a couple of websites and I'm wondering why there might be such a difference in price for seal kits. I'm quite happy with the mechanical pump, no problems with vapour lock here as it never gets warm enough, so I want to service it. There are 2 kits available, this one on Wadham's site:
Fuel pump kit V8 fuel pump service kit with standard small valves £40.00
as well as this:
Fuel pump kit valve V8 large valves for fuel pump kit (per pair) £16.00
or there is this from Rover Classics:
248 Fuel pump service repair kit V8 New £ 23.50
I hear there are different size valves too, 1" and 3/4", any idea how I can tell which ones mine has?
Alternatively there is a much cheaper, but probably infinitely more risky, option on eBay
