other Tii Fuel Pump Support

[mfbanres]

OK, the rubber supports that hold the tii fuel pump (the low pressure pump, under the car near the fuel tank) appear to be the same rubber supports that hold the non-tii air cleaner.

 

Yes, or no?

They seem to have different part numbers:

 

Tii fuel pump rubber isolator 16 12 1 177 891

 

Air cleaner damper 64 21 8 042 132 seems a bit cheaper.

 

This is not to say they are different but like parts generally carry the same part number

Not if they are for a tii

Hi--

 

I compared the parts when I bought new ones for my tii fuel pump and they are physically identical to the ones that came with my late '73 air filter (carb car, new from dealer).  In spite of the different part numbers these 6mm bolt rubber couplings are identical and next time I would buy the less expensive ones.

Thanks Larry.

 

Since I posted this I went to W&N.  On the page showing the tii low pressure electric pump, the rubber supports are listed as:

"air cleaner rubber support"

 

 

So W&N agree with you, and I'll order those.

As Bill stated and is correct the Tii fuel pump rubber isolator is different than the carbureted air filter rubber isolator.

Question it from a logical perspective.

 

Would BMW use the same part to isolate a moving fuel pump as they would hold a static air filter assembly.

 

The Tii part is larger in diameter and its length is greater.  We have removed many an air cleaner isolator from a tii fuel pump, it did not make it safe or correct.
