Ok just a bit of help needed. I have just recently discovered that my fuel pump I brought of ebay 2 years ago is FAKE as Rob had trouble mapping and suspected the fuel pump. I need a PROPER Walbro 255 fuel pump. I found a place called temple tuning who claim they are the distributors for FSE and all there stuff is REAL. The problem I have is that the swirl pot I brought was from a breakers so I don’t know what pump to get as they do a GSS340 for up to 98 and a GSS342 for 99 onwards how can I tell which pump to get? Also if anyone has a pump for sale please see this thread:

or if you know a place where I can get a GENUINE one from for less that £82 all in please let me know. Thanks TJ

doesn't mean it was fake, might have been a low pressure 255lph like the 317 etc. so you just reached its crack pressure. having said that I wouln't chnce it again buy a brand new one from a known reputable source.

Hi,

Look the web page:
http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/
Choose "Fuel Pumps" / "In-tank" / "Technical" and there you have, a great picture of different Walbro fuel pumps: 340, 341 and 342.
They all can be installed into Coupe, I use 340 with a big intake.
