Ian Foster Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Richard When I first fitted the Huco pump, I kept the mechanical one in place with the delivery pipework (just in case), but have now removed it and blanked the mounting onto the block. The mechanical pump did make a sort of chuffing sound as it was trying to pump air...poor thing! I could always carry it as a spare part, but probably won't as I think the Huco is good bit of kit.

Guest Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hello Ian, I agree, cruelty to mechanical fuel pumps is just not on !! Prior to the Webcon unit I seriously considered the Huco option but ended up going with the former, personal choice rather than anything negative concerning Huco. My understanding is that the Huco pumps were made in Germany but now in the USA I beleive - any type of German engineering is good in my book. Regards. Richard.

Ian F Hi Ian - What type of impact switch did you use ? where did you locate and lastly assumed the Huco needs a relay Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'd be surprised if the Huco needs a relay - neither the Facet nor the cheap Chinese one I've tried did. On both cars where I've gone electric pump, I've used an impact switch from a Rover 200 - readily available on eBay and elsewhere. The connector it needs is a standard Amp Econoseal, available from MiniSpares, as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Just trawled eBay for fuel inertial switches and found https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Ka-1996-2009-Fuel-Cut-Off-Inertia-Switch-XS7T9341AA/253310059777?epid=1709854545&hash=item3afa74c501:g:mvYAAOSw-09aMPx1 . One of pics shows the spade connectors and guess the middle one is a warning light . I’m assuming this would be suitable ? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Would probably be ok. I've always used the ones fitted by Peugeot, Citroen (easy to spot in the scrap cars). I think Same used used in Freelander and various Hondas. Get mine from scrapyard direct as much cheaper and I can liberate the matching plug as well. No relay needed but suggest an inline fuse (10A IIRC) Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hello Paul, For an extra few quid, this may be better as it already has the connector : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-25-MG-ZR-99-04-Inertia-fuel-cut-off-switch-Kit-car/183343135408?hash=item2ab01a3ab0:g:~TQAAOSwhclbRGZB Not sure you really need the warning light, if the switch activates you can be certain you will know about it !!

Regards. Richard. Thanks for the link, missed that one - very neat as well . Apart from its intended purpose can be used as thief deterrent assuming they dont know what it is .
