    Bosch 044

    Hi all,

    Quick one, looking at getting an updated fuel pump as it was recommended to get it changed when doing the conversion. I've seen a Bosch 044 going reasonably cheap. Does anyone have any expierence with these? They seem reasonably good

    Cheers

    You will just need adaptors for in and out so it fits your fuel lines, also it's rather large compared to the oe gtt it will fit but you can't use the oe gtt bracket, COuple of nice big cables tie's will do the trick though to secure

    044 pumps are great though there are cheaper Bosch pumps out there with similar specs. Think one I'm using for a Mercedes and about half the price. Can't remember the number though but not difficult to find other pumps

    Re: Bosch 044

    Thanks all, I've found one at a reasonable price anyways. Can anyone remember off the top of their head the size of the fittings that I need? Also does it still fit next to the standard fuel filter

    Re: Bosch 044

    I'm wondering if a group buy on 044 pumps would be of interest?

    Re: Bosch 044

    Search on eBay,

    Normally find them a lot cheaper than can purchase anywhere, as normally companies getting rid of old stock.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-0580...item1c3df3a6b6

    The company I work for cant even get them in at that price.

    Re: Bosch 044

    He he i have 2 if you look really closely you will see both in shot

    One before the pump one after. You can see the one after easier its the black alloy bit after the pump they are only small but both use a brass cone shape guass which you can clean or replace. I take them out every year and drain the tank down and wash filters out

    Re: Bosch 044

    I liked them as they were compact and i found them on ebay through torques uk good company for quick delivery and good quality too

    http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/160638355244

    And they now do one directly onto the pump
