MG Car Repair: 1966 Midget Fuel Pump, electric fuel pumps, electronic fuel pump


Question
I have replaced the mechanical fuel pump on my '66 Midget with a solid state electronic fuel pump.  The problem is that the pump runs very hot and stops working after a few months of intermittent use (this is the third one in 12 months).  The car has been converted to negative earth, if that matters.

Answer
Hi David, You need to get a different brand pump or a better warranty. I converted hundreds of MGs to negative ground at the dealerships I worked in and we never had that much trouble with fuel pumps. Also all 66 Midgets came with electric fuel pumps.
