I have a peugeot 1.4 XS engine which uses a cam-operated fuel pump, is this a diaphragm type? I'm just wondering whether this could be removed, the hole covered, and then an electric fuel pump used instead. finding new gaskets and parts is a little tricky for it, and I'd have thought an electric pump would have been better anyway. Any thoughts or experience with this?
Thanks,
Matt

an common mod on the old mini...

don't know how you'd do it on a peugeot

On a Peugeot, just fill the hole with Garlic.

Old minis had electric pumps, later A+ had mechanical If you have a return pipe you might have to block it off if your electric pump is pressure sensing cut off type.

well, yeah... i mean not the bmw mini

Here you go, pumps
Or look for Facet at Demon Tweeks etc

take out any moving parts, or just the drive bit, use some fuel pipe to link the now redundant in and out and use a Facet pump.

Euro car parts should be able to supply the mechanical pump for less than 20 quid.

Really not a good idea to fit and electrc pump without a safety cut off switch
