EASY >"fix" right from the driver's seat! Argh, Austin! The electric fuel pump used in the MG's and Sunbeam Tigers was NOT a Lucas product but was made by S.U. (and a Hearty Congratulations to anyone who KNOWS what S.U. stands for!). The US Army's original M88 recovery vehcile had a version of this fuel pump, on steroids, mind you, which gave the US Army the same problems which it gave to generations of US college kids. But the Army's maintenance types mourned when the M88A2 came out in diesel with the AVDS fuel pump -- the S.U. unit was just so bloody predictable and so easy to repair ... ) Nonetheless, most British sportscar owners have converted over to one or other of the many cheap and tough replacement pumps.
