China Fuel Pumps Want To Kill Me. by 7bucklife: 8:09pm On May 07, 2023
Fuel pump wohala. The last pump I got for 6k packed up a mo th and 2 weeks ,I got another one 2 days ago for 5000,that one did not even start my engine. Now I'm planning to buy another fake fuel pump for 9k tmrw. The botch fuel pump I got from amazon at 60$ has still not arrived nigeria. Once the new pump gets hot,it starts vibrating the car and stops supplying fuel,car will stall. I'm fed up of wasting money on fake fuel pump. Help me.

If a mechanic had told you to pay 20k for a fuel pump, you must've refused . But now you have spent 20k already and counting.

No dey manage when it comes to cars . If necessary ,park the car till you can save up for the real deal,and this is me talking from experience.

I hope the one you got from Amazon serves you well and if I were you,I'll wait until that one arrives before I drive that car again

Change the entire assembly. Not just the pump.

if you're in Lagos, go to Ladipo and look for EP fuel pump. I got it 10k last year, its been serving since then.

I understand that fake fuel pump are not sturdy enough to withstand abuse and last long. But trust me, for that pump to die that quick, you might have other issues with the car.
1. Driving on reserve tank kills pump prematurely because the fuel in the tank cools off the pump.
2. Buying bad petrol would contaminate the pump and kill it.
3. Extremely dirty fuel tank would make your pump suck up dirt and that's a pump killer.
4. Clogged filters would make your pump work harder than usual and heats up faster. You'll need to change all fuel filters and complete pump assembly for peace of mind.
5. You might be having poor ground connection and that gives off the impression of your pump dying.
6. Most rewire prefer running a direct ignition line to the fuel pump. This too is not good for your pump's health as it would work harder and on high flow unnecessarily longer reducing it's lifespan.
Kindly check all these before getting another pump.

You're right. I remember having some issues with my 2003 jeep liberty. Whenever it gets hot, the jeep won't accelerate. It would jerk until I stopped. I thought it was spark plugs. It was the fuel I bought that caused it tho.

Try getting fuel injector cleaner after refueling and add it to your tank. My own pov tho

I later notice that toyota matrix fuel pump complete and mine are identical. So once the pump arrives,I will buy complete ,and keep the remaining two pumps inside my boot as emergency........... but how sure are you guys that fuel treatment being sold at filling station is not water o. Do u mean I would be shelling out 2000 after refil for injector cleaner,treatment. I serviced my injectors abt a month plus ago,so why will I be buying fuel treatment everytime. Henceforth,I've selected filling stations. The fuel pump given to me yesterday was for a v8
Re: China Fuel Pumps Want To Kill Me. by 7bucklife: 1:48pm On May 23, 2023
Hi there,today makes it the 15th day after installing the tokunbo v8 fuel pump. It backfired 3 days ago,2days ago it struggled to climb a hill briefly. So I got abandoned the car yesterday ,today it refused to start. I've done what my rewire did the last time,which was to blow fuel into the injector hose,still the car starts and goes off. So I would be reverting back to the fuel pump I got for 5k brand new later tomorrow. I guess all these pumps on the engine doesn't want to do even 3 months. A v8 pump now doing backfire. I buy fuel at 2 to 3 different filling stations and I cant lie.i have no clue which sells bad fuel. I can't wait for tinubu .

Its not clogged,its free and it happened that all the dead tokunbo pumps i had been getting together with two bad ignition coils were the culprit. Issue of fuel pump had been solved .
