That would be great! I will certainly be getting a replacement motor...just have a big 'to do' list to knock out before doing this. Maybe the 'how to' will be ready by then.

Just ordered a pump, since I have the old style I rather stick with it in-case the pump fails again at least I won't be stranded.

Alright. It turns out that the noise of my pump was a kink in the flexible tubing I used.

I was stranded with fuel in the tank but none for the tandem pump to use. Took me a little while to put the new rigid tube but now I broke the T in the filter.

Can I just bypass the T and cap the hole momentarily, say one week?

Thank you whitedog!

I will connect with a straight tube and plug the hole with a cork or something, until my new Tee arrives.

I agree. Just be careful that you don't break off one of the plastic fittings protruding from the pump housing, as I did. I must have committed this expensive error while tapping on the frozen rotating ring that hols/seals the pump into the tank. Still not sure how I screwed that up.

Mike (TheTDIWagonGuy) was great and shot me out a new (full) pump and I had it installed in a jiffy. Now I'm on the look-out for a dead original equipment BEW pump so I can get back to a pump that will still deliver fuel when the pump motor fails.

Mike was very helpful and I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

I've just ordered mine this week end, and i'm going to do the mod so fuel can still pass in case pump dies... honestly i'm not a big fan of the tubes used on the DIY and found that Tygon F-4040-a would be the best for the task, only concern is that recommended max pressure is 25 psi (do you think it's in the pump's range?) and that 5/16"ID is extremely rare... could i use another size?

While I would use 8 mm or 5/16 hose, the largest OD of the barb tips on top of the electric motor/pump is 9.5 mm.

The OD of the canister exit pipe (on top) is 7.9mm. The OD of the very largest ring on the exit canister is 10.86mm. I have successfully used 3/8" ID hose on the canister exit, with a good hose clamp over or near this wider ring.

Mike, I realized I had never posted back! I just wanted to say thanks again for offering these replacements! I installed my pump into the existing sending unit wih no difficulty. The toughest time I had was with tubing so I just heated it a little with a hair dryer to soften a little and it went right on. Also when I removed the motor from the housing I used 3 small flat blade screwdrivers in order to be able to get the motor out of the split ring in the plastic housing. Anyway, all went well! Only problem is it didn't fix my car because the reason it quit was the timing belt! But the pump had been dead so I'm glad to have the new one installed.

So I have not been able to get my hands on an old lift pump to do the "how to" for the replacement motor. When I do I'll post it.

Since you seem to be able to get hoses of different lengths, have you considered offering a mod kit that allows for pump failure?

I have an old model one (the one I took out when I bought the new pump from you). I could ship it to you for the "how too" instruction creation?

A most excellent kit! Includes replacement hose and clamps.

I bought the replacement pump motor for the old style BEW lift pump, tan/beige plastic housing/sender.
http://www.defender-tech.com/product_p/bewlpr.htm

Installed it, in 2004 Golf, with the help of this thread.

Cut a hole in large thick garbage bag slightly larger than pump access hole, surgery style, and duct taped it to hole to protect interior.

Whole job took 2 hours in the heat with a beer and being careful.

Definitely CUT the old hose off the barbs with razor/Xacto blade.
Small flat screwdrivers and various picks are ideal tools for disassembly.
And rags and spraycan solvent/cleaner and catchpan and flashlight.

New Pump

Received the new pump assembly within 3 days. Dropped it in within 30 minutes of getting it. I'm impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the part. Thank you for the excellent service. I recommend getting this pump or (pump assembly in my case) to all that need it.

Thanks again
