Bosch 69302 - Electric Fuel Pump

Dangme.

 

I keep getting the same results, as I call around.

 

"Bosch says - 69302 - has/is - Discontinued ???"

 

Any help here would be appreciated.

I still see a bunch of online retailers claiming to have them in stock. 
No word yet on an HO sending  from MTS yet I guess? 
There were always other options that could be made to work, the Bosch one just happened to be better than most. And in most cases the only concern was getting it to fit in the sending unit. I might honestly just take the whole sending unit into the parts store and try to test fit whatever pump they happen to have on hand.

I started out with - No Start and no Fuel Rail Pressure.

Never kept more that a couple of gallons in the tank

because of our 'modern gas'.

Thought maybe the fuel pump overheated and failed.

No leaks on the Fuel Pressure Regulator but with no Fuel

Rail Pressure, I suspected Fuel Pump/Fuel Pressure Regulator.

 

Started with the Fuel Pump.

As I removed the FP the bottom Rubber Support

(Red Arrow)came out in pieces(modern fuel) ???

The Sock was still on the pump.

 

The upper (slotted one in the photo) looks okay but maybe fuel

did not get up to that level - maybe???

 

I put power to the pump on the bench and it quietly purred but I

have not tested it, for pressure.

 

 

 

 

I am also going to change out the FPR.

Came across a Bosch pump, in Canada.  Will try tomorrow.

All I did was google the part number, but here's some results off the first page that still show stock.

https://www.thewrenchmonkey.ca/products/auto-parts/bosch/69302/

Whether they actually have stock or not I couldn't tell you, and I've never actually dealt with any of them.

Thanks for those.

 

All show 'In Stock' but in talking to them,

they all say the pumps are Backordered.

I seriously hate when websites do that. Honestly it’s false advertising, lying about your ability to procure something.

Running a consistently low tank can shorten the life of your pump. Also allows more room for water vapor which is worse than ethanol imo.

Anyone have any luck locating a source?
