“Mrs Brown” 

“mrs Brown” was aquired in the mid 80’s from “Mrs Brown” and run for several years as a a fully registed car. She had some damage to the RHS rear quarter where the owners son had let it go down the drive and run into the carport. The door was also damaged in the incident. The car drove well and was used in this condition for several years till it was mothballed. (cortec products used).

Description inside

The varnish was well weathered and front carpets replaced with a non matching set. The car ozzed character and smelt of high quality perfume when ever parked in the sun.

Description Exterior

The RHS has panel damage and there is some rust in the RHS gaurge rear of the wheel. At some stage the front of the car has beeen damaged and the grill badly repaired.

Engine and Tranmission

Transmission was rebuilt in our care. Engine ran well but was beguining to smoke on a trailing throttle. The engine was inhibited with A cortec inhibitor pack before shutting dow. It was last run last week. but has fuel pump issues. I would expect the brakes require some TLC as brake inhibitors were not used.

Volvo Fuel Pumps

Currently I seem to be spending a lot of time fiddling round with fuel pumps. 144, 164 and Daimler.

I was doing an oil change on Esperances’ 550000km I think. Well when I came to start her after - no go - no fuel in the filter. Split the lime and turned her over - no fuel.

Luckily I had a “gross” sorry Goss box type pump for another project handy. All my replacement mechanical stuff was in Tasmania. Sitting nicely on a shelf - 2 - 3 spares.

Consulted with Col and Ian re the mounting.. Yup up the back near the tank is best but lets try up the front.

Tried no go. just a small splutter of fuel. The goss pump is a “pusher” not a puller like the mechanical or the SU type so it needs to be near the tank and preferably at a level where it self primes.

The 144 has 3 sections of rubber pipe in the fuel system one at the tank, one in the centre of the car and the rest in the engine bay. The engine bay and tank hoses were severely  cracked - this may have been the problem. the cracks may have let air in under vacuum. I replaced all the rubber hose for good luck and placed the Goss pump infant of the fuel tank un the upper reaches of the wheel well where the fuel injection would be if this was an injected car. The area is still exposed so I may make a shroud or change it to a NZ Fuelflow pump (see www.fuelflow.co.nz) as they look more robust. T threaded a electric feed from the +ive on the coil to power the system.

The system works well car has much more go and starts much easier in the cold of winter.

The 164 pump - the original died - replacements cost more than the car so… a VN Comodore pump from the refined supplier -Super Cheep. - problem fixed.

The Daimler SU died due to storage without care for 15 years. So it looks like being replaced by a FuelFlow 15LM12. will update as that happens.
