Hand bulb fuel primer before Filter housing

[Dispatched23]

Hello could I please ask can I buy this rubber pump from any local parts suppliers.
Citroen price is very high.
Ebay may take 3 to 4 days and hope he right size is sent.
I realy need to get back on the road ASAP for the School run.
Thankyou for any advice.

Ships chandlers usually have a selection.
If you are not close to the sea then inland lakes that are used by powerboats may have a chandlers that will carry them, especially as they are for smaller boats.

The Citroen price is very high because it includes all the rubber hose as well. You will have to cut the old pump out of the current hose and may find it hard to get the new pump to fit as the gap is too big. You can usually just get enough by judicious pulling but on one vehicle I did (a Vauxhall Vivaro) I had to add a short length of replacement hose.

Watch out for the cheap stuff off ebay the rubber perishes within a few months and you're back in the same trouble.

Thankyou for your replies I didnt put year or engine.
It's a Dispatch 2.0 year 2008.
It came off easy from the inserts on the fuel filter top abd the pipe end they where pushed into it.
I need to locate one to pop back on does anyone know the correct diameter or how it's measured. I'm leaning towards 8mm?

You may extract some useful help from the "punchline" to a replacement of the primer bulb on the Dispatch here...

I think that would be more productive and more likely of long-term success than chasing round trying to find cheaper substitute bulb.

I bought one from a chandlers when having a flirtation with a biodiesel/svo conversion many years ago. I think it could well be an Evinrude part and it looks like this, totally unused. You are quite welcome to have it gratis but no recommendation from me as to longevity or effectiveness.

Have a read of all of the thread here, where members with greater knowledge than me made contributions and the original poster had a successful outcome.
