Identifying A Bosch Diesel Pump....

[Big_Jimbob 0]

Hey guys, im going to look at a 205 xldt tomorrow, is there anyway of telling if it has the lucas or bosch type diesel pump...

 

The idea is to run it on a veg oil and diesel mix... and i obviously need the bosch pump to do this...

 

thanks

Have a look at DieselVeg.com, they have a link or a page that shows pictures of all the different types of pumps that might help you.

its the one it will have and the one to stay away from. you can use veg oil if its mixed with diesel in the right quantitys though.

does anyone know which 205 diesels will run on veg oil with no problems then?

 

or if i can just change the pump to the correct type?

 

thanks

Itll have a Lucas CAV on it, as far as i know, all the XUD7s had Lucas pumps, and some early XUD9s in 306s.

 

It is the Bosch pump that likes Veg - the Lucas tends to seize eventually, stall the cambelt, and snap it.

 

I think the Bosch can be made to fit, although the bracketry and timing cover may be different.

Thanks mate, but i was sure some xud7's had the bosch pump, maybe it was just the non turbo ones tho... all the veg oil sites say these are ok to run on the stuff bot dont mention the turbo'd cars being....

 

would it just be a straight swap from non turbo-turbo....? iv also read that you need to change the lines for bosch compatible ones from pump to injectors, but the lucas injectors are ok, can anyone confirm this?

 

thanks

xud7's came with either bosch or rotodiesel and xud7t's came with rotodiesel only - info from autodata

 

I guess you can change the pump because some 306 diesels come with lucas pumps and people change them to bosch, but if it's a td you're putting it on I think you will need a td pump, so you would probably have to get one from a 306 or something

Brilliant mate, i will look in to it further...

 

i was under the impression that the bosh pump was adjustable as im sure the guy who has tuned his 205 derv on here has fitted one...

 

thanks anyway

all diesel pumps are adjustable, but pumps for non-turbo applications wont work on turbo engines as they haven't got any boost fuelling compensator mechanisms.

 

lucas pumps say either roto-diesel or lucas on them, and bosch pumps are stamped bosch.

 

Bosch pumps have a timing hole plugged between the injectors, Lucaa has this hole on the top/side of the pump body.
