I looked at that option lastnight, but wasnt convinced it would be easy to access should it need any maintinence.

I'm unsure if new 6-volt pumps can be ordered with one already fitted (the plastic end cap has a cylindrical bulge if they do). https://sucarb.co.uk/su-fuel-pumps-spare...-volt.html

The SU website looks to have been designed by a 12-year-old on acid. Looks modern and clean, but is challenging to navigate. The menu system is hopeless, and the search is useless - put in "6-volt fuel pump" and you get almost anything but. Finally, I phoned them about a different enquiry and was given excellent help: 01722-412-500
