Never fitted an electric lift-pump in my life. I see dozens on ebay for 10-15 quid. Can anyone vouch for reliability of particular make/model? Or maybe have wind of a mechanical repair kit....not done one for donkey`s. Or cheapo complete pump. Again, seen plenty pumps/kits on ebay, usually for tractors, but Sherpa truck(I converted fwd Maestro saloon engine to fit it 15yrs ago), is not with me to get any numbers off pump. Cheers

I’ve recently fitted a Facet fuel pump to friends kit car. Popular choice for unusual installations. Make sure you buy genuine make , about £35 , and there are various pipe inlet/outlet sizes available . Wire it to a fused ignition circuit. Instructions in the box .

Many thanks Doc for your quick reply, I`ll give that one a whiz.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
