HI Eric,

The electric fuel pump on my car is not equipped with an oil pressure cut-off switch. Not good. I really have no idea why the electric pump was added, other than it was a cheap(er) fix after the engine-driven pump failed. Just a guess. The mechanical pump is simply capped off.

You mentioned you don't like selling the new and readily available manual pumps...is the quality simply no good? The one on my car doesn't look old, but it apparently failed.

So, the question is...refit a new electric pump (no idea how old mine is) fitted with an oil pressure cut-off switch....or simply revert back to either a new manual pump, or find an older one and rebuild it? If you have an older one for a B18, let me know.

Best,

Wayne
