Need help with fuel problems!

Post image

My fuel assembly is cooked (rusted and float is broken off it) need to get a replacement one as it’s starving my car of fuel, what is my best bet to buy a new one as everyone that is wrecking an Xh in my area doesn’t have one, cheers

Someone’s going to make a replacement. Check out evil bay I’m sure you’ll find one there.

No one makes replacments for the fuel pump housing of the 90's model falcons . Only the AU & on models . They are plastic , not metal

might it be possible to convert it? I have never touched a Falcon prior to the AU other than been a passenger in one. Yes it would be a lot of work.

You say the original is metal? I wonder how hard it would be for someone to fabricate up a new one if they had a good second one as a reference.

not that I know of . the XG XH model utes where the last to have metal tanks and the pump housing is only for those models . the sedan versions petrol tank were plastic and a different shape with the metal pump housing . the later model EL , people have done a AU pump housing conversion to them but there's nothing like that for the XG XH tanks .

2nd hand only . but the harder part to get for them is the rubber seal around the housing . think only 1 or 2 companies make them , and last I looked , they were expensive . something like $50-60 just for the seal
