Fuel pump bolt L18??

[nickel&dime]

The bolt for my mechanical fuel pump broke on the right side. Does anyone know what bolt I need to get?

 

Thanks in advanced

It's just a regular metric stud (not a bolt), M8 size I think. Being small it requires small torque.

 

Take it down to NAPA or autozone and they'll match it up for you.

M8-1.25.  Originally there were two studs, (headless threaded rods) that screwed into the aluminium head, and you put a gasket, a plastic spacer, a second gasket, and then the fuel pump.  Then each stud got a flat washer, a split lock washer, and then the nut.

Tightening torque, on the oil strainer, that uses M8-1.25 bolts is 5.8 to 8.7 foot pounds.  That is more than enough for the fuel pump nuts.

Awesome thanks fellas!

Would anyone know the length? mine broke and I can't find the other half

Remove the other non-broken one, take it down to NAPA or autozone or any local auto parts store and they'll match it up for you. Then you won't have to depend on others.

 

Let us know what length it is when you get it off.
