andyevo Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Hi guys, I've just replaced my fuel pump in my glanza and in wanting to re-glue the fuel pump cover down again. The factory glue is soft and sticky and I'm after the same stuff to replace it with. I don't want to glue it down with a product that will make it to difficult to remove later.Cheers. Quote
jellybaby Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 tbh feller that stuff u got on the cover already will re stick to the car easy. as I just reused it and it held in place Quote
Gainzy Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I'm going to use a bond sealant for mine just a slight run around the outside be easy enough to heat off at a later date, I have noticed the wires run into the rubber seal on the 98's but the 97's have a clip so you can disconnect the pump to remove the lid anyone else the same?

andyevo Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks guys. The original stuff still does stick but it's not the best seal. I'm getting petrol fumes in the cabin. I'm going to try to use sikalastimer.Mine is a 1997, and it has a clip on the cover to hold the plug. Quote
mikey4410 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) yeah I would only ever use the glue already on.maybe distribute it around the cover better.shouldnt leak fumes. Edited May 6, 2015 by mikey4410 Quote
andyevo Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 It should leak fumes? I wouldn't think it should leak fumes into the cabin. Quote
mikey4410 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 sorry dude that was a misspell. it definatley should not. Quote
jellybaby Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 if u are smelling fumes I check all the connectors are tight as maybe vapour coming through etc also if u changed the pump then u might of splashed some fuel inside somewhere Quote
andyevo Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 sorry dude that was a misspell. it definatley should not.All good, I thought it was spelling😃 Quote
andyevo Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Yeah there probably is a bit of spilt petrol in there. I glued it down using Sikalastomer 710. Once it goes off it is very similar to the original glue. It remains soft and sticky. We use it when fitting stainless steel deck fittings on yachts. Quote
sosolid Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 did your fuel pump sit straight like the oem pump? i got one from here and it sits at an angle. filter facd one way and outlet at the top the other so it sits at an angle. can one side be rotated? Quote
Stu Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Yep it fits just like a stock pump. Just need to cut and join on the new plug as its ever so slightly different. Quote
