Fuel Pump... Fourtrak

Forum: 

Have just fitted a 2.8 TD out of a fourtrak into my Land Rover Series, am using the old Daihatsu filter etc...

Now no matter what I do the pump on the filter will not draw fuel into the filter, even getting rid of the filter housing and running the fuel pipe direct to the injector pump this will still not allow fuel to get to it..

My question to you guys is. Did the Fourtrak have an electric pump near the fuel tank?

As fitting a pump into my system makes the engine run sweet..But need to know if this is not going to damage anything..

By the way noobie so go easy on me, even if I am butchering an engine to fit an old relic of a Series 3 Landy Help

no theres no electric fuel

no theres no electric fuel pump on a fourtrak.
cant see any problem with fitting one if your set up wont run without, but carefully check for leaks with the engine running, normally the injection pump sucks fuel from the tank, if it dont its usually an air leak somewhere allowing air to be sucked in. you may find you only need the pump to clear the air to start and it will then run without it.
with an electric pump running any excess fuel at the injection pump will be returned to the tank via the return line.
