smallboy Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Can anyone advise what work needs to be carried out to the 4RT fuel pump in order for it to fit into a Mitani flat fuel tank. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesy Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 In simple terms and from memory, remove the pump from the bracket cut a "V" in the bracket to allow the bracket to bend over and weld back up. I have pictures of this done somewhere, if I can find them I'll send or post on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windwelder Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi, Just get a future alloy pump mounting plate. It weighs loads less than the steel original .i just use a huge cable tie to clamp the pump to the mounting, others use a stainless jubilee clip. Cheers Trev.

windwelder Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 You can get them from either future in Italy, or H&D in the uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Is the modified way ok, as prefer not to spend £130......... I read somewhere that the original mounting plate/bracket could rust over time (due to condens water and the crap thats in modern fuel). So cutting a V out of it and welding it back makes the mounting plate even more vulnerable to corrosion. And while your at it, clean the tea-bag filter that's fitted under the fuel pump. I used carburettor cleaner for it. Edited June 21, 2013 by guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
