Having stripped a spare "T" type AC fuel pump to check it out prior to removing the pump on the car, I decided to purchase replacement parts for both units, keeping one boxed up ready for use and sort the leaky one on Ruby.
However, I had noted that the "spare" did not have an external priming lever, but still proceeded with the view it would still be a useful unit to have, but just checking to make sure I put it back together in the correct orientation it dawned on me the "spare" was in fact opposite hand to the pump currently installed, i.e. the in and out connections are reversed and to accommodate the spare I would need to rework the fuel pipes in and out.
See attached pic of both units.
Does anyone know why this would be, is this unit used on any other A7's but both are clearly marked type "T" ??
Cheers
