Anybody Use A Bosch 044 Fuel Pump In Tank

[LRP]

I have been onto our supplier and found that there is not a sock that fits directly onto the 044, however I have ordered some and will make the adaptors to suit,

Another thing we will be playing with is fitting an alloy filter canister onto the bottom of the pump as I think this will possibly take away the 1/4 tank thing and the horrible filter behind the subframe.

BTW we do a special swirl pot that fits onto the FD rear subframe and keeps the fuel system out of the inside of the car.

ok when do you think you will hav the socks in stock readay to go?? btw how much are your swirl pots??

Here you go here\'s one we converted to into the tank that you can copy.

zip ties are they ok submerged in fuel??

Many thanks bud.

044\'s will suffer fuel starvation around the 1/4 tank mark. I know, I\'ve got one :-)

And thanks too




Not having the knowledge but how does this suffer with the problem.  Im guessing that the pickup point through the sock will be in the same place if your making an 044 fit in tank - is it that it is just pushing such a quantity around the system?

[LRP]

Yes,zip ties are fine.

cheers tim now just to get a sock!!!! proving hard work as you know!

i am running an 044 in tank, and like people have said, it def suffers from fuel surge, mainly when below 1/4 tank.  i have found it happen quite regularly.  so when i have the cash i intend on fitting a swirl pot.

I\'m not suprised it suffers from surge if it is mounted like that so far from the bottom of the tank. Any crap in the tank will quickly kill the pump as well, they should really be run with a pre filter (ie. like a sock) we have learnt the pre-filter lesson the hard and expensive way after loosing a pump on the rally car (rally entry fee was more annoying than the cost of the pump TBH)

On the picture posted by Clive I see that the original wiring (the blue connector to the pump) is used to supply power to the pump. Would this wiring be able to supply close to 30A?
