Lucas pump cap - carlukepeugeot - 29-01-2019 Hi all, Just curious - is it possible to buy replacement caps - the one that you remove to adjust the max fuel - for the lucas diesel pumps? I have taken mine off and got it back on and sealing, but it worries me a bit that I could crack it (there are wee chips out it where I had to chisel it round). Would be nice to have a spare to hand! I have seen mention of old ford pumps having a metal cap on them, but searching ebay etc doesnt' turn up any. Alternatively, has anyone worked out the dimensions / thread and managed to source a suitable equivalent ? Cheers Craig RE: Lucas pump cap - Martin306 - 29-01-2019 Yeah loads of places supply the plastic ones. Google search for Lucas DPC Sealing/Access Plug or something along those lines. Plastic ones are fine, the key is to not overtighten em ![]() You can get metal ones, someone on Facebook showed me last year but I can't find the post (typical facebook, forums are way better for searching) I can't seem to find any after a quick google search but I know they are out there. RE: Lucas pump cap - carlukepeugeot - 30-01-2019 Thanks alot Martin! I can find this one on ebay, only thing being it is green for some reason?! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323620916397?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true Take it this should be it? Cheers Craig RE: Lucas pump cap - Martin306 - 30-01-2019 Yeah that looks right, no idea why it's green though! RE: Lucas pump cap - ekjdm14 - 16-10-2020 Thread necromancy, anybody had any joy finding a better source of these plugs or the metal ones? Tenner for a bit of plastic/nylon seems a bit excessive but then again guess they count on it being a distress purchase lol. Thank fook we have another 306 to get us around... (Well, that's waiting for a water pump but given the choice I'd rather drive round pissing water than diesel)! RE: Lucas pump cap - johnny625 - 31-10-2020 I expect things are more expensive in the UK, but here I went to local machining shop and they made me a metal copy of the plastic cap with a bonus, a 19 mm hex head on it, so I only need a 19 mm spanner to undo it. It costed me whoppin 5 euros. RE: Lucas pump cap - Martin306 - 02-11-2020 I've just had a brainwave Couldn't someone 3D print a plastic one and just put a handle/knob on it so you can twist it off? Suppose metal is fine though. RE: Lucas pump cap - johnny625 - 19-11-2020 It would have to be diesel compatible 3d printing material..with absolutely no porosity. Even the sightliest hole is enough for diesel to leak. Otherwise a great idea, no need for spanners or anything. |
