RogerD Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi all,I decided to buy a HUCO low pressure fuel pump since several club members recommend HUCO, and seems to be happy with them. This weekend I put it my car, and I was utterly disappointed when I found out that it was leaking. It is a crack in the pump between the IN and OUT pipes. I did NOT apply any excessive force when I tighten the screw that secures the two pipes. I’m utterly disappointed, I paid quite a lot of money for it compared to other pump brands. Have anyone out there experienced anything similar? I was hoping to get my Vitesse back on the road next week. One despairs… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 There's always something like warranty ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 maybe it was damaged before you even fitted it, havnt had any problems with mine, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerD Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes, I'm sure it must have been damaged when I got it, I have sent an e-mail to Eurocarb where I bought it. I do hope they will replace it. I'm living outside the EU tax zone, so even if they will replace it, I will have a bureaucratic nightmare with the customs 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have two of these pumps and have not experienced any issues.So I am sorry to hear of your issues.I bought mine from Southern Carburettors and found their service and prices to be top notch.

don cook1 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Are you sure its a crack? I noticed when I was fiddling with the different angle you can get from lifting out the fuel unions that the small 'O' ring was easy to unseat. Take them both off and have another go at putting them back paying attention to the 'O' rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerD Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yep, it is definitely a crack. Very small, hardly visible between the IN and OUT pipes on top of it. I noticed fuel leaking out from it, 100% sure. I have sent e-mail to Eurocarb where I bought it, and asked them about warranty. They have been supportive so far. To be continued...

RogerD Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just got an e-mail from Eurocarb, they will send me a new pump. Top notch service! I haven’t bought anything from them before I’m a new customer. But they have impressed with very quick response and good service. They also have the new world record regarding shortest lead time from order to delivery (UK => to the remote and isolated Åland Island) so I can recommend them. Can’t wait to get the new pump so that I finally can get my Vitesse back on the road before the summer is over (the summer here is usually on a Wednesday or a Thursday, then it’s gone again…)PS. I have no connection with the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
