6.3

I have in my registery 4 cars that were or are converted to LPG ....

Is this the ex Kai McCrea car? Used to reside in Tumut?

MB Tex interior?

LPG used to be a pretty common conversion for cars in Australia. This is the second car i know of that was a 6.3 on LPG. If setup correctly will be ok for engine health, even better sometimes as LPG cars dont suffer from overfuelling and damaging the bores.

Thanks for the replies folks. Found a long pump in the pile of parts, will test and see if it works and doesnt leak, otherwise will install a 3.5 DJet pump. Buying an original short pump is crazy money!

Welcome to the group Aaron.

You can also use a D-Jet pump if an original short body proves hard to find and expensive.

Actually the expensive is a given :)

The MB original fuel pump would be A 001 091 52 01, still available as it seems.

It replaces: A 001 091 34 01 and A 001 091 46 01.

According to XENTRY (EPC) it needs to be supplemented with mounting details:

+1 A 108 470 02 81 fitting

+3 A 126 988 00 11 rubber buffer

+3 N 000127 005203 washer

+3 N 000127 006203 washer

+3 N 000933 006016 bolt

+3 N 000934 005004 nut

And the car was running on LPG ?? Interesting, I hope it did no harm to the engine.

Hi everyone,

I have a 1971 6.3 and there is currently no fuel pump or fuel lines (car was running on LPG). Thought I should go for a new fuel pump and make any brackets and install.

Any recommendation for a fuel pump brand & model to suit? Have searched the forums but haven't found anything definitive as yet.

Thank you.
