SSP Fuel Pumps - Oldman - 21-06-2023
Hi all, the mechanical fuel pump on my bus (Type 4, 2ltr.) is starting to weep a little....
I've tried finding re-build kits to no avail.
Just wondering if anyone has used and can recommend these replacement pumps by SSP ?

Or, can anyone recommend a fuel pump rebuild kit supplier ?
I'd rather not go electric pump air this stage as I really want to try and keep everything stock / stock type systems.

When I got my bay the original pump was leaking.
I put one of those new ones on and........................it was....................OK.
It is worth what you pay.
Didnt leak as much as what I took out - but still dripped
I couldnt find a rebuild kit either
When I did the big rebuild, I went electric.
Natoli does something similar to what Volks Doktor does.
Pump, filter and relays all in a kit.

Mmmmm…….food for thought, thanks mate.
Any idea of the cost for the kit ?

Contact Volksdoktor. I think he may rebuild them.

Thanks Phill…….would be ideal if he does them exchange ….
Will get in touch.

I haven't looked at all the prices of late, but for a vane type pump from Pierburg (3-5PSI) it was around $150 although it might be a bit higher now, the Tachometric relay is under $50. Chuck in a Solenoid cutoff valve for around $80, a filter and some relays and wiring adapters and piping that would make it around $350-400 all up in parts if you want to do it yourself.

Thanks Adrian……what I’m not sure about is the required fuel pressure….
Bentley says that a 2ltr should be running at 5 psi…..
Can anyone cast further light on the required fuel pressure …please ?

The Volkswagen "Offical Service Manual" (the blue on that Terry had as a PDF) says dual carbs is 5psi
RE: SSP Fuel Pumps - Oldman - 26-06-2023
Yeah,, thanks Barry…….that’s what I thought.
Those SSP pumps claim 4 psi max. , even though they’re supposed to be suitable for a dual carb.
RE: SSP Fuel Pumps - Mordred - 26-06-2023
The Pierburg ones are 5 psi. There is another well known American brand starting with C which are the same as well. They are much better than the cheap rattle pumps too.
