| Post subject: | Fuel-Miser pump noise? |
Hey guys, Just quickly, I've had a new fuel pump installed using one of the fuel-miser ones from suzistore with along with a new maruti push rod. The new pump seems to be quite noisy though compared with the old suzuki one. Its making a ticking noise (tick,tick,tick,tick) as it pumps and have also notice a new rattle sound inside the cabin. Was wondering if anyone who has used one of these pumps has noticed anything similar? I've just sourced a new suzuki factory fuel pump so can switch it out for a genuine one if the quality of the fuel-miser ones is though to be sub par and keep the fuel-miser as a backup. Cheers, Sage. |

Yes, the aftermarket pumps are sub par. Swap in the genuine pump. As an aside, did you measure/compare the pushrod lengths? I wasn't aware that maruti would supply a g13ba pump pushrod. How worn was the original Suzuki rod? |

The original rod looked ok in my opinion but i ordered a new one with the pump from suzi store at the same time just in case. As the mechanic i took my car to installed it i didn't measure them myself but i did notice that the replacement maruti rod had flat ends as in a straight edge where at the old one has the ever so slightest beveled edge. Not sure if this was from 20 years of wear though. I was planning to take it back in with the genuine pump and ask them to pull the fuel-miser pump off, take out the replacement rod, measure both the rods and then sub in the new genuine pump and old rod if its within spec. |

You can do it yourself with a 12mm socket and a screwdriver in about 10 minutes. |

Yep, probably the easiest to replace mechanical component on the whole car. |
