150SV Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 18 Member Share Posted March 18 I can't find any reference to that in the archives. You might be able to check its suitability by cross-referencing part numbers. Have you asked Caterham Parts and Redline? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Collier Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I went through this process in 2023. I did contact Caterham and Redline, but their prices were eye watering. I did buy one from Ebay, after I researched the numbers from the old pump on Google. I'll try and find the details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
150SV Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Jk, Redline have quoted £250….. im 97% sure te pump I listed is the right one, I just wanted a sanity check…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Stamp Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I am absolutely not an expert on fuel pumps but the float on the one pictured is very different to the ones fitted in most Caterham's I.e white plastic and round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Stamp Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 This was an earlier thread on re-calibrating the fuel tank pump float (to give better, and definitely more accurate fuel gauge readings) which shows the typical Caterham fuel pump/float arrangement for Duratec and Sigma cars: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
150SV Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Yes, I agree RE the float , but I can’t see that making any actual difference ? it is just a float after all…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
150SV Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Plus it doesn’t look a huge issue to swap the float arms over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I wouldn't worry about the float. I believe Ford's design changed around 2019 from round to flat, so I imagine the lookalike products would have followed suit. OP, what year is your car? Can you see the part number of your existing pump? If so, you could ask the Cambiare seller if their unit is compatible. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
150SV Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 My car is 2007…. ive not yet checked for a number on the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Collier Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I remember what I did now. I got the part number from the top the pump and went to the Ford main dealer. They told me which model of Ford it referred to and I searched Google for the pump for that model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
150SV Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Ok, so my next question is: am I going to be able to remove the broken stub in the pipe ? how does that pipe detach from the pump ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_Stamp Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) That Cambiare fuel pump is available on Ebay (model number VE523021) for £79.03 at the link below and appears to have free delivery AND a 20% extra discount using code RENEW20. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335291640024 [I do not know if this part will fit - I am just responding to the OP's first post mentioning that part name and number. The compatibility chart on Ebay does show that this part number is compatible with a wide range of Ford cars] Edited March 18 by David_Stamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 18 Member Share Posted March 18 Does anyone know the reference Ford model and year for checking compatibility? Thanks Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Jonathan Kay said: Does anyone know the reference Ford model and year for checking compatibility? Thanks Jonathan Well, the top of the OP's pump looks identical to mine (2008 R400D): (illustrated upthread -- with the round float). The part number on the barcode label reads 3M51-9H307. According to this site, it comes from a Focus Mk2 2005-2008. (ETA: At £39.95, that one is also much cheaper than the Cambiare one, but it's used, not new.)

Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 18 Member Share Posted March 18 I think that 3M51-9H307 or M519H307AC is a Ford part number. Autodoc page of equivalents. Jonathan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
