SU diaphragm type petrol pump
Has anyone tried using an SU diaphragm type electric petrol pump? I read in practical classics recently that they are quieter than most and only pump petrol when required rather than constantly. I currently have a pertronix(?) type which works well but is very noisy despite being mounted using rubber washers between it and the chassis

Re: SU diaphragm type petrol pump
They’re standard fitment on lots of cars, pretty reliable and low pressure for use with carbs , they are fairly quiet
