    Where did you get the metal covers? And may I ask how much they were?

    Part two of the "Wizard"s 550 fuel pump fix



    Looks like he didn't refit the boot. What's the purpose of the boot? Noise suppression? Heat insulation?

    Here was my solution to disintegrated rubber parts of my 550 fuel pumps, got plastic plumbing parts at a diy store, I did not have the original rubber gasket pump surround to get specs to make a replica on a 3D printer so I brought all pump parts to diy/builders providers , I will upload more photos later, they have limit on here

    More detailed photos of hopefully a permanent fix to the disintegrating maranello 550 fuel pump rubber parts, bought this car crashed years ago hence the disintegration of the pump housings, last job before she runs and drives [*** self-promotion deleted ***]. Cheers

    Resurrecting. Seems simple but I need guidance on how to connect a line to the end of the fuel rail to drain the gas tank. Seem simple but can’t find anywhere what I need to buy to accomplish. Assume it’s a threaded or spring connector over the shrader valve end and a line to a gas tank. Or step by step to drain the tank somehow on a 2001 456M. Need to replace fuel pumps as one has failed and a full tank! Much appreciated community. Ed

    I used the hose from my fuel pressure gage and unscrewed it from the unit and used some clear tubing to extend the flow.

    I jumpered the fuel pump relay and used the battery cutoff switch to control the pump.

    I ended up ordering Fabio's holder instead as Ricambi's updated/uprated OEM replacement was backordered.
