I am just installing a wallbro 255 fuel pump and was wondering i should remove the rubber at the bottom as it does not seem to be very secure.
Also should i use any zip ties to secure the pump or is petrol too corrosive?
Pic's below..

 

yeah bang a zip tie on will be fine always have on mine.

 

Cheers mate, did you leave the rubber on the bottom or did you remove it?

 

Leave the rubber part on.

Ive always fitted a stainless jubilee if things felt a bit loose.

 

Push the pump down then tight the hose should secure the ruber.

 

sorry to hijack the thread but, not being of a mechanical mind how does the fuel tank not catch fire? given that there are electrical connectors inside the actual tank?
i've always wondered that nsurely there must be some risk of spark with a live and ground?

 

No, they are well insulated and far enough apart to stop arcing.

 

Electrical connections are safe within petrol when its liquid or as an over-rich air/fuel mixture as you would find inside a sealed fuel tank.

Only dangerous when it escapes into the atmosphere and enters the flammable range.

 

alright cheers lads.
Daily stupid moment done........

 

Cheers guys i will try this, hopefully it works.. :-)
