Iltis fuel pump question

Post by David Sewalk » Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:55 am

I have an 81 VW Iltis (ex military). It appears the fuel pump has gone kaput. The fuel pump is mounted underneath and just forward of the fuel tank. Can anyone recommend a replacement part? I see lots of references on the web to Facet pumps, but I cannot tell what is the correct replacement for this location (again, in front of the tank) vs. what appears to have been a later modification (in particular with the Bombardier model) of moving the pump into the engine compartment. I don't have any desire to go through the work (if I can avoid it) of making this modification. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
Dave

Just a thought...didn't they have Audi engines, etc.? Maybe an Audi fuel pump?

I have used a standard 24vdc Faucet 3.5psi pump on many 183s with no problem. Bolts right on. You do not want to move the pump to the front. It needs to be near the tank for best results. The Canadians put everything under the hood for cold weather operations and it is a compromise at best. Stick with original location.
