Turbo Diesel Pump

[johno_78 2]

I want to change the Lucas fuel pump on my turbo diesel to a Bosch unit so i can use the veg oil i have sat in my garden.

 

Which donor vehicles have a suitable pump i can use for this conversion? I know of the 306 and Rover 218, but my local scrapyard doesn't have any in at the moment. There are several 405 TD's, however i believe that this is the XU9D instead of the XU7D, so am unsure as to compatability.

Early 306's had them, 406's, xantia etc just a case of looking.

 

I'd keep it quiet about the veg oil, illegal and the tax man will bum rape you if you get caught. Give us some

 

Make sure you get the injectors, lines and pump mounting plate for the bosch pump or it won't work!

not in any way is it illegal to use it.

Sorry genuine mistake, mistook for green/red diesel that farmers/builders use

From not having any bosch pumps in my local scrap yard, I now have a choice between a few.

 

There are now 2 306DT's with part numbers: NR0 460 494 342, VE 445-2 & VE 445-3

There are also a couple of 405's i could use.

 

They all appear to be in a similar condition, so I am looking for recommendations as to which would be the best one to pick.
