fuel filter housing

[scas]

has anyone ever fitted a fuel filter housing off an early 125 with the electronic lift pump onto a vehicle with a normal filter housing. my filter housing needs changing so itd be handy when changing filters.

I haven't ( sorry ). But Can't see why it wouldn't work, assuming the pump part # is the same, I.E., not specifically setup to receive the right pressure rather than "create" it itself. Some consideration as to when & when not the pump not runs may be useful as the PCM (not IGN) switches it normally on early 125's.

didnt realise that- probably wouldnt work then, thanks

No problem;)

would this work and if so is it the same effectively as a 125 filter housing

Are you are changing the filter head because it is letting air in ?

I was going to change mine, but throwing the yellow plastic diagnostic bulb away and sealing the hole with a bolt was a much cheaper way of solving the problem..

04 115 di, the housing is letting a tiny bit of air in-not a big problem. im just being lazy,when i change fuel filters id like to just change it and let the lift pump fill it up like an old 125

Maybe fit a universal type inline fuel pump or facet type.

Sounds alot more hassles than filling a new filter once a year though before twisting it 40 degrees into place. Replace a fully filled new filter to a warmed engine usually works really well.

im even lazier-mine is the older filter housing-dont even need to twist it 40 degrees
