MINI fuel Systems & Induction FUEL TANKS PIPES & PUMPS-CUBE TYPE BY FACET
For carburettor cars the standard fuel pump may not be able to maintain adequate fuel pressure at higher engine speeds, particularly with a tuned car. The Facet range of fuel pumps will suit all modified applications.
Pumps should ideally be mounted at the rear of the car below fuel tank level as they push fuel better than they draw fuel. However they can be mounted up to 300mm above the bottom of the tank. Fitting an electric fuel pump will eliminate problems associated with vapour lock and give constant fuel pressure even at high temperatures.
The pumps come in a variety of pressures according to requirements. Fine-tuning of the fuel pressure can be easily achieved by installing a Fuel Pressure Regulator, available with or without a filter. You will have to re-plumb the fuel system around the new pump using a combination of standard pipes and hoses. With safety in mind, we also supply a Fuel Pump Inertia Switch Kit, so that in the event of an accident, fuel delivery is cut-off.
If you are replacing a manual pump with an electric one, you will also need a Fuel Pump Blanking Plate.
Please check thread and pipe size before ordering the fuel pump unions and use with the listed fuel pumps.
