Yes, there was one that looks like the original, I will order them from Walbro. That way I can get a short and a long one like the stock set up.
-
Not the in line filter, I'm talking about the filter that hooks under the pump. I found some that fit but they are longer and are very annoying when putting the pump back in the tank.
-
I placed an order for the hose and the fuel filters, we'll have to wait fo parts again!

According to the SAE site 30R10 is for In-Tank, Low-Pressure, Uncoupled Fuel Hoses.What you are saying depends a lot on what application it is made for. This is what I had in mind: http://www.compperformancegroupstores.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FS&Product_Code=30342-18&Category_Code= or http://www.gates.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=5091&location_id=541 BTW thanks for the material references, even though the document is in German, I can understand the info, but it takes time thanks again

After a lot of reading about hoses, and for my own peace of mind, I will go for an R10 hose which seems to be more suitable for submersible applications.

I've done lots of search a while back and thanks to Steffen from Ramspott & Brandt, I got my hands on the original pump's specs. The pumps I have installed now are the Walbro GSS340, you can check it out here: http://www.onlyfuelpumps.com/walbro-255lph-fuel-pump-gss340-400-812.html I was too concerned with the pressure specs of the hose and forgot all about the fuel resistance I just got a new hose with the following specs: 5/16" SAE 30R6KX. I'm still looking for the exact specs, I will try to get higher quality if possible (if I found any that is).
-
Yes, these pumps are Walbro pumps, they have the same output capacity as the originals, but as you can see they don't fit the plastic pockets, and they cost about $100 each.

The pumps are out and the hoses are completely ......melt down. I'm going to buy new hoses and a new fuel filter, just in case the melted parts went in the filter. any suggestions on the type and size of hoses? I'll attach some pics. http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/gallery/image/2478-20130120-225513/ http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/gallery/image/2477-20130120-225348/ It goes without saying that these hoses were not made for fuel use.

The regulator is not the problem, I blocked the return line after the regulator and still was reading zero pressure on the rail. gonna have to pull the pumps out again I was really trying to avoid that, as it is not the most fun job to do. The sparks look good, I will give you an update once the pumps are out
-
After a long business trip, and I got blessed by a new baby girl . I finally had time to work on my Esprit. So, I have spark for sure, but the fuel pressure reads zero on the fuel rails. I dont have the connection to test fuel coming from the pump directly, however, I really doubt the fuel pumps failed or that the filter is blocked! I think I will go ahead and change the regulator, then I we'll take it from there.
-
Unfortunately, I am in a business trip. I will have to wait till I get back. The car did not fire at all, but now that I think about it, there was fuel smell after a couple of tries!
-
I'll try that once I'm back, I doubt its the pumps though, They are less than 2 years old with only 1k miles. I pressed it. But the inertia switch should cut-off fuel, I will not hear the pump if it was tripped, am I right??

My Esprit V8 has been parked for about a year, last week I tried to start the car but it is cranking only! It was working fine the last time I started it!!! So anyway, I filled the car with fuel, as I knew it had about quarter tank. I released the pressure from the fuel line, but only had a very weak spit of gas; I would think that if it was pressured properly it will spray quite good? I can hear the fuel pump when I put the ignition on, so it is not a fuse. The only work I was doing on the car was in the dash, I completely removed it, as I wanted to refresh the gauges and change
