EgunMogaji:


I wish some of the younger guys could have experienced Nigeria of the 70s / 80's, she was just a better country.

Do you guys know we used to have Greyhound buses in Nigeria, telephone booths in Ibadan, LSMTC buses (owned by Lagos State) that ran between Lagos and Ibadan, a functioning highway patrol force, hardly see soldiers on the street, etc

Anyways to your question, back then most cars had external fuel pumps not these ones that are sitting inside the gas tank (I think most of the fires we see on 3MB are from these adulterated cobbled together fuel pumps), external fuel filters, etc The fuel was better but the maintenance was better too.

People actually took their cars in for service, not when it broke. In Ibadan you had a Volvo dealer, Datsun dealer, etc

You actually had brand new taxi cabs, I mean tear rubber Datsuns and Toyotas for taxi in Ibadan, very rare to see a taxi that was battered, there was pride in ownership.

To be a taxi driver, driver, vulgarizer, battery charger, etc were all good professions. Listen to Ayinla Omowura, etc and see how he sings of tipper owners, senior driver at CFAO, etc Nigeria was just better over all

I wish I was more into photo/video graphy then like I am now.

Fuelpump used in saner climates for 10-20years coming in and looking this good without any human interference.


summary, If you like buy a brand new car or a Foreign used car, as long as you live in nigeria and our system continues to buy horribly refined petroleum products, just set aside a little extra money for a fuel pump every few years.

my mum bought her Datsun 120y from sunny motors in the late 70s. the smell of the interior was just Majestic.the last time I saw the type was in abeokuta some over ten years ago,and the nostalgia just flooded in. God save Nigeria

GAZZUZZ:


naija is legendary anuty radu, that 1 year warranty you are splashing upandan hope you are ready

AutoElectNG:
I have spent a fortune on brand new fuel pumps until I discovered fuel pump must go with fuel filter or a complete pump assembly

Next stage for any car with a metallic tank I have adopted the suggestion put across by the ijebu high chief

Will drop the tank and turn it into a brand new tank using the method he posted on Gazzuzz ford thread

With plastic fuel tanks that may not be necessary

eherbal:
and why was l not mentioned?
pls do the needful

radautoworks:


You no see us? That's why we reduced from lifetime to one year let us see

obekediamondfuto:



lolz, u might need one reduce it to 6months oh.

some kain suspension parts like struts and springs I suggest u reduce it wella too for people that steadily ply itire mushin axis else some people go begin run that road @ 120km

when people ask dem go talk say..... ah ahn, aunty radu will change it for me na... yels ke!!!

but look on the bright side, it will lead to referrals. 1person will bring 10other people and the network keeps looping.... till u have like 3,000 customer base that will be running 120km/hr on otta - abeokuta road .... rest assured that after every 2 weeks they go in for a free swap.

abeg oh, I no wan come one morning see thread on nl..... "I REFUSE TO DO AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA "

just kidding tho mama

Finally my Fuel Pump Gave on me yesterday. After getting set for church 6am open the gate drove out, i felt a slight jerk ignored i was already late for mass. Getting close to church i felt it again with loss of power and engine came back on. Shook my head entered church first and parked. After mass started my engine I couldn't drive up to 60km without jerking, I was rolling slow @ 40km. Once i stepped a little hard on the gas pedal power loss and disco lights on my dashboard. SMH

Got home brought out the other pump i had in my boot (though somewhat faulty) and replaced it same issue. i just screwed the cover back dropped the back seat on top it. Today i'll enter ikokwu to buy a new pump.

radautoworks:


Just spend the money and buy a proper warrantied fuel pump from me

Oga, where u dey make me cry? Kai....

I want to believe petroleum products used in this country contributes 60% to vehicle breakdown then a careful maintenance scheduling

obekediamondfuto:


more like 50percent..... and the fuel is to a car what food is to a human....
recurring consumable.... remember the adage that says "you are what you eat"

tell ur car that this morning!

radautoworks:


That is not what we said. If that was the case, those if us who takes care of our maintenance and are careful of filling out pumps would have to change them like everyone else- and we don't.

Maintained properly, your pump will last even with the fuel here.

thebigkendo:


Just curious.. How does one maintain a fuel pump?

radautoworks:


ROFL! Not waiting till "E" or reserve before filling up, being careful where you buy and using additives.
