New report on fuel pump for type 3
Altho no one has said why new/rebuilt working 3-port pumps cannot be found, I have verified in testing an inline 2-port Walbro pump GSL392 for replacement . It requires ~7 volts & ~5 amps for good flow & 28 psi+ pressure. I put 1 ohm resistor in series to take up extra power rather than overdrive pump & fuel, as seen & heard.
Instructions with pump give no specs & are short on electrical & plumbing. Need to rig water-proof connection to 6-32 thread terminals with #12 wire splicers & maybe add silicone. Use spades to go in original pump connector. Couple on J-bend of 15 inches of 5/16 copper tubing to bring outlet around near inlet for connection to VW’s fuel damper & to main line. Inlet connects to filter & tank. (Pump has 1/8 FIP threads; use their pipe to barb adapters & copper seal, or other 1/8 plumbing. VW system does regulation & only returns to tank) .
Room under tank to rig clamp to put pump where old one was, BUT pump needs ~11 inches & must mount higher, farther back, and closer to car center, by ~ 2 inches each, with new hole in plate, standoff, & redone clamp.
For a good short illustrated report on theory & rebuild of 3-port pump, see document on British Type 3&4 Forum. It doesnt cover all issues. A link is in post after my post, on their Workshop.
Thanks to several advisors under my first fuel pump topic to get this far.
