Fuel filter electric thingy

Postby Dynapro » Wed Nov 23, 2005 9:58 pm

Hi, 1st post as a newbie Transit owner in the last week. Ex BT 76hp, SWb 120 on an N plate. Nice enough wagon, but whilst sniffing arounfd the nearside, spotted a solendoid or filter thing close to the tank with 2 leads dangling next to it. What is this item, why isn't it connected and what happens if it is not connected ?
Vehicle runs well enough though ...
Cheers,

Yep, sounds like an Eberspacher fuel pump to me.
