1esprit Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Does anyone have a cross reference for the V8 Fuel Pumps? I think mine are shot. Thanks in advance, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Günter Posted September 28, 2007 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I guess it is important to find one with two pumps (as original). The fuel amount for the V8 under full load needs a good fuelflow, right!? Im not sure how great the flow rate in this system is, but you can PM to Johan Hybinette and other *Specialists* in some kind of fuel tuning. Maybe a inline single pump from the aftermarket sector can also work well.... .

mjims Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 BUMP: Wondering if anyone has some more recent info on cross reference details for fuel pumps. I've just got back from a long fast run and my primary fuel pump is making a loud drone'ing noise. In true british money saving thinking; rather than just replacing the pump for new, is it feasable to just swap electrical connectors of the fuel pumps? My understanding of the dual fuel pumps is that the second pump is only used for max power and therefore not used as much and as such the primary pump (if overheating) will not be used as much and should be ok for some time?

Gold FFM Günter Posted November 15, 2009 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 second gets in for starting and for the 'full power/fuel dumping' situations (boost..) And from what i see the different hight level is just to make the package a little smaller (you can tilt it if you lift it out of the tank) -so try the rewiring and you will be the first to know if it makes any difference. What you can do first is to measure the flow rate/pressure if you manually activate the pumps one after the other via the relay-station in rear luggage (RH side) Quote ********************************************************************* to name the things if I see them, that's what I call integrity.. ********************************************************************* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetz Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 The guys from a BOSCH Service Center told me, that it is possible to decipher the BOSCH part no., if the Lotus part no. is at hand. So, look up the Lotus part no. and call a Bosch Service Center. If they have a pump, they Quote Sport 350 - the Real Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshireman1955 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 The fuel pumps for the Esprit V8 are made by AC and are imported into the UK by ATL Fuel Systems. Their part # is KS153. ATL do not deal with the public direct, but sell through Demon Tweeks. They recognise the ATL #KS153. Both pumps are identical - just mounted at different heights. Demon Tweeks Direct, 75 Ash Road South, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Wrexham LL13 9UG, (0)1978 664467 I have used these pumps and the only difference is slight size of the electrical connectors - but easily modified. Running the pumps without fuel overheats the nylon brush mounting and jams the brushes so losing contact with the comutator. It took me quite a while to sort that out when I wanted some so I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outtamyway Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Actually, I'm trying to source the part for my mechanic. The Lotus OEM part is almost $1,000 USD. I found another web site that referenced a Carter P74006. However, that was for an S4, not a V8. You might want to rule out the relay first as some time ago there was a post on the yahoo group that found it to be the cause of an intermitten problem. Also see this even though it is written about a 4 Cyl Esprit http://lotusracer.home.mchsi.com/lotustipspage2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdavelotus Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I had a set of V8 tanks from 98 onwards complete with pumps and senders. I gave the lot to PNM Engineering and they still have them. Their contact details are [email protected] or +44 151 630 6101.

billt Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Replace with a '95 Corvette fuel pump, Bestest#BE16008 or BE3270. The strainer, plug, receiver match up precisely. There is a very slight difference in the upper plastic but 'doesn't matter. Do not use the Walbro GSS 340 - it takes major modification and costs the same as the Corvette. Use the steel clamps provided and not the plastic factory squeeze clamps. Cost about $70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
