Fuel pump replacement option for the RSV (if you dare)

[dingy]

Working on the hybrid this weekend I discovered that a 1st gen fuel pump is able to be mounted in place of the stock 2nd gen pump. Mine was bad, which I knew upfront when I got parts from Wrenchrob. The bracket from a 2nd gen will fit on a 1st gen pump just about perfectly. I had to cut old bracket off the 1st gen pump due to way it was installed, but that was very easy.

 

The inlet & outlet hose barbs are a different orientation, but nothing serious.

 

The plug connector fits the RSV harness.

 

1st gens haven't seem to have much problems with the fuel pump like the 2nd's have, so it is one more alternative.

 

Some pictures attached. The 2 pictures of pumps on bench are both 1st gen pumps. One on right has the 2nd gen bracket mounted. Front & back view.
