Hi all,
My 1100gs's fuel pump died a few days ago; I could not hear the bzzzzzzt when ignition was switched on; so I took it off from the fuel tank, and applied 12V directly on the terminals, but nothing. And the relays are ok, so is the fuse for it.
As you may know, the OEM BMW pump costs 328$ from the dealer, or as a alternative, 100 euros + shipping from Euro MotoElectrics and a 2 week waiting period for shipping for a Bosch fuel pump.
My concern right now is if I can use a much cheaper car gas pump.
So the fuel pump is characterized by fuel pressure and delivery volume; for 1100gs, these values are 3 bar and 110 liters/hour. If I can find a similar size pump from a car parts shop that has the same pressure but lower or higher delivery volume, will it work on my bike?
Thanks,
Dan.
