I should never check out the 1800 parts on eBay after drinking a couple of glasses of wine. Impulsively bought a fuel pump repair kit the other day. I was visioning getting in my 1800 and driving it cross county (which i'd do with a few spares in the trunk...among them a fuel pump). Very nice. Two check valves a couple of sealing rings and a couple of gaskets plus a diaphragm. Unfortunately, only after it arrived and I was admiring the quality did I realize that this wasn't a kit for the Bosch electric pump(s) I have. So I re-read the listing and it said, quite prominently, that it would fit only an AC England pump. Of course, I've disassembled electric fuel pumps before. They have rotors, not diaphragms. Crap! I could've bought two more bottles of wine with what I spent on that kit. (Then what might I have purchased?)

Anyway, if anyone needs to rebuild their mechanical pump, and it's an English AC pump, or if they'e contemplating their own California trip, I'd be happy to trade this, or perhaps even donate it. I can send you a photo.
