Where can I get replacements for these lift pump fittings?

[colind3782]

I want to replace these elbow fittings into the lift pump and I believe they are M12 x 8mm. Straight fittings won't work due to space although a banjo possibly would do the job.

Hydraulic hose specialist. We have an excellent one in Woodham Ferrers Essex but obviously too far for you to drop in as I can. Solves all slots of issues if you have one nearby. I had regular plant parts to be replaced and having them made within 24 hours max was a must do item that most of the suppliers understand.
take the complete assembly in . Not just the elbow as they may have something on the shelf

Tractor dealer will help or point you to the hydraulics shop.

We used to have a hydraulics place in the local town where I had some hoses made years ago but I think they moved. I'll check when I get back to Blighty.

Consider Earle's Performance Product UK, 01327 858221. suitable for fuel, many hose ends to choose from including stainless steel option. Check out speed-seal TM which are DIY assembly requiring 2 spanners and a junior hacksaw. Banjo fittings look ideal for the application.

Be wary of hydraulic fittings.

A few years ago I had pipes made up for my fuel supply by a hydraulics guy.

I had endless trouble and lost a whole season before I discovered that the internal diameter of the banjos was very small and not sufficient fuel could pass when the engine was under load, resulting in the lift pump pulling a vacuum which ruined the diaphragm.

Get parts from any diesel pump place or online.

I've been looking on line but no luck so far. Perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms?

Why not buy some hosetail elbow fittings and some fuel pipe ? No need for crimped hydraulic hoses.

FWIW I had the same fitting on my Perkins, I had to replace the original hose but could notfindit locally so I sawed the bent tube right where the big fitting begins, then used regular rubber fuel hose held in place with a hose clamp.

Rather than Jubilee type clips, i would uses this style :

ABA Stainless Steel Mini Fuel Hose Clips

I have also used those Roger, as you say, downside is they are not reusable (not so important if the fittings are bolt on, as the OPs are). You do, of course, need a tool to crimp them, olde Worlde pinchers work well i found.

these are the tool I use to crimp those the O clips

Something that hasn't been mentioned is what's on the other end of the elbow, out of sight inside the pump. That's the bit that does the sealing so it's important. I can think of a couple of possibilites so it needs checking.

I've had them apart before when I replaced the lift pump, nothing special.
