XC Falcon fuel pump seal kit?

Recommended Posts

Hi again. 

 

We removed the leaking fuel pump from the XC today and it's going to be thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt. 

 

Can anyone please direct me to the best place to purchase a seal/rebuild kit? 

 

XC Falcon fuel pump.

I'll check them out. 

 

Thank you. 😊🙏👍

 

not likely to be easy going by this thread. 
i haven't read it again,  but sparkydave linked something might be worth looking into..

wonder if you can repair it with some universal neoprene gasket sheet and cut it out?

[mention=21]Mr Polson[/mention] would repco do a seal kit for these, assume it would be a fuel miser brand if so?
Not off the shelf, can possibly source one but kits are pretty uncommon now, most people just put new fuel pumps on these days.

Part number is on the box in that thread. I got the last one from the nz supplier years ago (so they said anyway). Still sitting on my shelf.

Yeah i have searched high n low for a rebuild kit for these and to no luck. 

If it was the Holden Glass bowl fuel pump, it wouldn't be a prob, heaps on ebay

but Ford Glass bowl fuel pumps, bugger just cant get em.

 

Another question without starting a new thread.....

 

The Fuel pump gasket on these things on early Falcon engines, you no between the block and the pump,

why is it like 5mm thick?

Does it act like a spacer and have less wear on the cam lobe to operate the fuel pump??

I can't answer your gasket question I'm afraid, but I DID manage to find a fuel pump repair kit and the pump has been completely rebuilt and is ready to go back on the car again... 

 

I found it at a place called Auto Surplus in Croydon South, Victoria.. 

 

www.autosurplus.com.au

 

The kit was $64 or so and everything fitted perfectly. With the new, flexible diaphragm, that pump will suck a golf ball through a garden hose now... 

 

Bear in mind though, that the pump on my XC is for the 6 cylinder engine. If you're after a V8 model, I can't guarantee they'll have one, but they're definitely worth a try... 

 

Good luck....

I was going to say Auto Surplus, would've thought you'd know of them through work, we use them all the time for old rarer parts

I believe the gasket is a heat barrier between the pump and the block.

One more question for you regarding the gasket please. 

 

I'm just about ready to reinstall the newly refurbished fuel pump and I'm not sure if I should use a gasket sealant for it, or is it not as critical as something like the thermostat housing or water pump for example?

Normally not required if the 2 faces are square, true and flat...  but, after 25 years, smear a little on with your finger, both sides. It will piss you off later when it starts weeping oil.  😁

Thank you. It might be good insurance, for sure... 😊👍🤘
