MG TD TF 1500 - TD fuel pump

Since sometimes I found that the fuel pump was lazy,in some circumstances it seems that the fuel delivery was not enough. I have dismantel the cover of the pump and I have sprayed the mecanism with WA 40. Since this important operation the fuel pump works well.

This may be one of the causes of vapor lock.

Georgibus,
You might want to check out the condition of the points in the fuel pump,,, sounds to me like they might be dirty or pitted and in need of cleaning up or replacing..

My earlier question concerning fuel line diamters stemms from just this technique. The PO told me when ever the points stuck he sprayed them. That,s why I just replaced the fuel pump. The platform (bakelite disintegrated and the leads are gummed. I am going to rebuild the old pump, but I don,t think WD 40 is the best if you have to spray cosider an electric contact cleaner but be aware that will also do a job on the black plastic/bakeluite that supports and positions the points
