which ebay fuel pump?

[joedirt]

how come you did not go with the CA Cycleworks or the stock fuel line?

Could you post a pic of the fuel pump that did NOT work? or any other pictures you may have- thanks

I did use the CA Cycleworks fuel pump after trying the ebay fuel pump.

no, no- I meant why did you not get the $5.25 CA Cycleworks fuel line to use with the pump you had already bought? Or even use the stock fuel line?

I'm trying to get info to help future readers here.

Also, any pictures?

2070, I wanted to make a couple of quick points:

Your pump is not like joedirt's fuel pump. His is w-a-a-a-a-y different and has about 4 feet of submersible fuel line. Actually, it looks like this:



Also, it looks like you've used a 38mm pump instead of a 30mm. If that works- good job. Many have tried.

Have you had any problems running without a fuel filter?

One of the hoses on your 2nd image is J30R10 (IOW: submersible); but it usually retails at a fairly high price- $15-$20/ft. The hose that Kurt recommend has the correct size on each end (1/4" & 5/16"!), is submersible, and retails for $5.25 USD. The other hose and pump are the stock ones (for our reader's info; BTW, the stock pump is just about the size of a D-battery).



Joe went ahead and bought the entire pump kit from California Cycleworks (hq'd in Georgia, I believe- go figure) and that kit price is above $100 ($120?)

Joe has solved his hose connection problem with the kit. I was just curious about some of the alternatives.

thanks for the photos. you've got a couple of "outside the box" mods going on... that's always good to see.

Yes the photo just guide for rubber hose connection, you can use rubber hose with a clamp, with fuel pump quantum 30mm the blue one or CA fuel pump, working fine

JoeDirt Did you buy the SKU: FP-HUS-X Pump from CA Cycleworks? Which hose would work with my bike? I have the TXC-250. I could just reuse the same hoses too

If you're gonna reuse the hose, then it doesn't matter- the 30mm pumps are the same. I would warn you though that these stock hoses are hard to work with (hard to get off without damaging them, very hard to put on without some thinking)

If your TXC is a 2010, you probably want the 4" or 6" hose (your pump is on a 6-bolt aluminum oval flange).

If your TXC is an xlite (2011-2014) AND your fuel pump flange is a plastic 4-bolt rectangular unit (well, 2 flanges actually) and not a 6-bolt aluminum oval flange then I believe you want the 8" hose with the two different end sizes.

I think. whew.

I might do a quick back-flush of the filter before the install (that is, if I wasn't putting a new inline filter in).

Great! Mine is a 2011 250 TXC-i I believe it has the plastic 4 bolt flange. I will double check and let you know.

just to be clear: I do not believe you need the 8" hose length as much as you need the two different hose end-diameters (1/4" & 5/16").


...wait- was that clearer??? anyhow, when you do this, could you take pictures and measure your old fuel line for us?

BTW, now is the time to install a new in-line fuel filter, if yours is in need of a change. Maybe back-flush it if you don't change it.
