MGB -- Fuel Pump Installation -- Part 1

Took off the cover over the battery trays to allow light in for working under the vehicle.

The aftermarket electric fuel pump on the car (near the battery).

The fuel pump is connected to the vehicle wiring using bullet connectors.


There's three bolts mounting the fuel pump to some structure near the battery.

To gain better access, removed the bracket holding the parking brake cable in place near the battery.

Removing the old fuel pump.
When the fuel line from the fuel tank was removed, a lot of fuel spilled!
Had to plug the fuel line with a bolt.

Old fuel pump.

Need to put bullet connectors on the new pump.

Went to the local auto parts store to buy some bullet connectors.

Crimped the bullet connector to the pump wiring.


The bullet connectors (male) that I bought have built-in shrink wrap tubing/sealer.

Used a heat gun to shrink the connector and seal it.

Weather proof.

Wiring is ready for installation.
