Should be the same across the range.

Common problem on LPG, where someone assumes they can run on LPG with hardly any petrol in the tank, but in reality the Petrol Pump is priming all the time ready for when the LPG runs out, low or no petrol in the tank burns the pump out, which wouldn't happen on a Petrol Only Car as the pump wont run without the engine running.

thats why im shocked lad i sold it to has had lpg cars before and used to convert a few as well , guess he just thought car was not worth anything?? , even on my 24v lpg'd  sierra i always make sure there is a at least quarter tank petrol as never want a run out syndrome ,some people eh ?!

Easy enough fix though if it is the pump, 20 min job max, just get a complete plastic pump insert from a breaker (any Omega Petrol model should do it) also get the Top Plate cover as well, in case the pipes your old one fall apart when taking it apart. 


funny you should say that my neighbour is trying to sell me his old facelift 16valver , think its got engine loom fault but been looked after was gonna bid as could do with front end steering box and all links hubs , wishbones , bits of interior and a door  ? mmmmmm
Also worth changing the Filter if its been sucking up air and crap from the bottom of the tank.

Fixed the quote reply for you.

Your also need the tool to remove the hose clips, but I just use some small to mediem size cutters and a flat blade to get them off and back on again.

ended up using power probe to trace circuits on fuel pump side as haynes manual diagrams german ?!, originally thought was fuel pump got a good used one for 10 pounds so no real loss either way fitted it but not that , used probe and checked pump fires on own , so checked through wiring right back up to main fuse board , mm fuel pump relay seem fubar , removed test with probe smeg all , check injection relay that fires fine , picked up fpr from a vectra  same anyway fires straight up , 
gonna buy bits to swap suspension over as not good , then cambelt  and oil change , jobs a good un
