I used a facet but a more basic one - one up from the very smallest I think. This is the one - no point in fitting a higher pressure and volume than you need - CUs are only 70 odd BHP after all

Use a rubber cotton reel to mount it just behind the tank outlet on the chassis rail and it won't be as noisy as some people think these pumps always are. Looks like you can choose the size of the tails connectors with that eBay supplier - I'd go for the smaller ones - they will be closer to what is already fitted than the 8mm supplied as standard.

For the record fitted Facet fuel pump type 40105 replaced fuel pipe left old mechanical pump in place.

Installed relay unit with prime pushbutton and for safety the relay unit senses the alternator warning signal and if absent de-energises relay. Approximate cost for bits 70 quid including new fuel pipe.

Many thanks for the help from Fritz and work done by cumbriankeith.
