AZX1308
Factory-Original SU AZX 1308 Fuel pump - Dual Polarity as used on various versions of the Austin-Healey 3000.
An exact listing of the appropriate models and their tag numbers can be found at the bottom of this page.
Introduced in 1959 as the "300 Series", the "round housing" pump superseded the "square" LCS (Large Capacity Square) pump.
For good order's sake: this is an electric fuel pump, suitable for both polarities (so as well as Negative Mass as Positive Mass).
This unlike the electronic fuel pumps!
It is a 12 Volt pump with a capacity of 15 Imperial Gallons / 68 Liters / 18 American Gallons and equipped with the standard SU connectors as shown in the photographs.
Measured outgoing pressure: 0.25 Bar.
Many of the parts of these pumps are available on request.
This is SU Article Number: AZX 1308 / AZX1308
IMPORTANT!
The difference between the AZX1307 and this AZX1308 pump here is very small but important.
The AZX1308 was normally intended to be fitted in a "dry" area of the car, for example in the boot. The coil housing (the black part in our photos) needs to be vented and in case of the 1308, it has a fairly simply breather vent at the top of the pump in our pictures.
The AZX1307 was normally fitted in a "wet" area of the car such as in a wheel arch or under the car.
Venting in that atmosphere is not advisable and so the 1307 is fitted with a small union which allows the fitting of a vent line which would vent into a dry area.
