Hi wanting to put e85 lift pump into my vt series 1 mra fuel assembly. The Pierburg 200 ltr looks good as it as a fairly low flow rate to keep my 2ltr surge tank full returning back to main tank. Have been using OEM pump but it has finally given into the e85. I’ have a Bosch o44 feeding of the surge which Also returns from rails
After feed back of what e85 lift pump would fit best in the OEM vt pump assembly and if anyone has been down this path?
Thanx in advance

Posts: 5 777I have a pair of Pierburgs as my lift pumps, as one didn’t have enough flow. No issues at all. They are E85 compatible although I have since only run 98.

July 4, 2016 at 4:59 pm #18145Tried and tested walbro gss342
July 4, 2016 at 5:11 pm #18148Did you fit the walbro in the vs fuel assembly cava
Are you using as lift pump or main cheers
July 4, 2016 at 5:24 pm #18152I have in past. I’ll be doing same again soon.
Lift pump.
July 4, 2016 at 5:29 pm #18153Did you have much trouble fitting them in your fuel assembly and where you running E85.
Do you remember how many amps it draw as free flowing lift pump doesn’t say on their website cheers
July 4, 2016 at 6:22 pm #18155Fits straight in. What u mean where am I running e85?
no idea on the other specs. I just know it’s plenty for a surge
July 4, 2016 at 7:26 pm #18157July 4, 2016 at 8:59 pm #18169Havent done it yet in the new setup which will run e85.
The 460 walbro is e85 approved but it’s a big lift pump, it will outflow ur 044.
I know people using the 342 with e85. No issue.
July 4, 2016 at 9:10 pm #18170Well said I’ve spoke to lots of people running it also on e85 for years with no issues.
I’m going that way be ordering one tomorrow from Sam’s customs, does em in the assembly ready to drop in for good price.. cheers for all the Feed back!
July 4, 2016 at 9:16 pm #18172Just make sure you don’t have issues with the fuel gauge withthe drop in gear. I had issues in my ute.
July 4, 2016 at 9:25 pm #18173How you mean, be careful not to knock the float while installing?
My fuel gauge stopped working 12 months ago so I’ve been topping up e85 every 300 klms ha ha been getting 300klm on 40 ltrs.
Will be nice to have a gauge that works again once I do the install mate
July 4, 2016 at 9:29 pm #18174Tough VR SS by the way!!
July 20, 2016 at 9:04 am #18608I recently installed the low pressure, high flow Pierburg E85 in tank pump. Wasn’t too hard to install, though this was in a VN-VS style setup.
July 20, 2016 at 9:08 am #18610You got some specs on it dale?
