howdy folks...
Hows things?
Just a quick question if i may.
My old 60 series cruiser's fuel pump is leaking some oil at the seal somewhere & so i need 2 replace it. i hear alot of talk about electronic is the way 2 go if possible but is that an easy option for the 60 series? they dont come readily available do they? id imagine ive got 2 replace it with a new mechanical one right?
i see the cost was about ~$150. anyone know of somewhere to get them cheaper? are they worth getting 2ndhand from wreckers etc?
Cheers & thanks for your
feedback (in advance)

Ro,
This would have to be a petrol motor. A diesel pump would be in the thousands of dollars.
A second
hand pump unless recondition would not be any better that the one you have.
You have a 4wd spend the money and get a new one at $150.

I think you are talking electric not electronic?

I had an FJ60 series a few years ago that was duel fuel. I could only get it started on petrol and then change over to LPG once the engine was running. Silly me I never changed over to petrol before putting the car to bed and consequently the carby was empty the following morning.
To overcome the excessive cranking to fill the carby I installed an electric pump that was in series with the mechanical pump. Worked very satisfactory.
