Unclejake Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I am trying to help out someone who has a broken down ute - and doing it remotely. It appears no fuel is coming out of the fuel filter when the engine is turned over but I can't tell if the filter is up or downstream of the pump. I THINK the motor is a carburetted 4G52 (petrol of course). Can anyone tell me if these motors have a mechanical or electric fuel pump? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mechanical pump unless it's been toyed with in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuel Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 yeah that was my old galant doing it after I sold it to pete. filter is between the tank and the pump. Go for a quality brand if you can, it seems the cheap ones were letting pete down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for a quality brand if you can, it seems the cheap ones were letting pete down. Can you recommend a brand Phil? Are the MMC ones silly money? Oh wait - so this guy pulled off the filter and turned over the motor and nothing came out. That doesn't mean much then does it if the filter is between the tank and pump! I better go have a look............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Sorry didn't see this post til now. Yeah genuine mitsi would be expensive but all dealers usually have 'approved' aftermarket stuff in stock which is like half the price, still a little more pricey than other places. Partmaster usually have a decent brand for a good price. Wouldn't bother with one from repco or supercheap as both of them fucked out on the Galant within 6 months.
