    ** Urgent Fuel Pump Needed **

    Evening all.

    Some of the foreign legion are stuck at their hotel near Donington after FCS. They need a fuel pump as the current on is " noisy as hell "

    Anyone in the region and could bail them out of the situation ?

    Shout me on 0770 680 9304

    if you dont get one, remove the pump totally, use the washer pump as a fuel pump...if you can
    will have to bodge the fuel hose sizes tho....

    either that or a can of fuel, with a pipe coming out of it, syphoning into the carb top. - the float jet will stop it over flowing....
