hilla 0 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 My fuel pump decided to give in on me, so i purchased a pirate pump for R600. The problem i have now after installing the pirate(non oem) pump is car must be primed @least thrice before starting and under hard acceleration the car stalls & seem like its not getting petrol, i have to leave the accelerator to return to nornal. Should i add an inline high pressure pump as i cnt afford 2 buy another(quality) intank pump? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'd get my money back if I was you mate, that clearly isn't the right pump you need.Have you not considered a second hand pump off another car? Should be a quick / cheap fix? Link to post Share on other sites
