Can anyone advise what work needs to be carried out to the 4RT fuel pump in order for it to fit into a Mitani flat fuel tank.

Cheers

In simple terms and from memory, remove the pump from the bracket cut a "V" in the bracket to allow the bracket to bend over and weld back up. I have pictures of this done somewhere, if I can find them I'll send or post on here.

Hi

That would be great if you could.

Hi,

On montesa4rt.nl are pictures from the modification (section tuning).

Hi,

Just get a future alloy pump mounting plate. It weighs loads less than the steel original .i just use a huge cable tie to clamp the pump to the mounting, others use a stainless jubilee clip.

Cheers Trev.

You can get them from either future in Italy, or H&D in the uk.

Is the modified way ok, as prefer not to spend £130.........

I read somewhere that the original mounting plate/bracket could rust over time (due to condens water and the crap thats in modern fuel).

So cutting a V out of it and welding it back makes the mounting plate even more vulnerable to corrosion.

And while your at it, clean the tea-bag filter that's fitted under the fuel pump. I used carburettor cleaner for it.
