51 Plate Jimny In Tank Filter solution was created by stimpy
Hi there folks, some of you will know that I have been recommissioning my Jimny recently and found a lot of rust in the tank blocking up the pump filter and generally being a nuisance!!
I opted to refurbish the tank in the end which is now 95% done so nearing starting her up again...
One issue I found was that the filter that connects to the bottom of the pump and acts as a piece up filter in the bottom of the tank had rubbed through a little allowing rust to pass into the tank. This filter pops off the pump very easily once one has removed the pump from its cradle.
I made enquiries with Martin for a replacement as Suzuki list changing it at around 100/120k !! But he can only find the filter coming with the pump unit also which obviously costs a small fortune then and certainly not worth it here.
I wonder if anyone has found an alternate unit for this? Otherwise I will engineer something...
I shall try attach pics now for clarity ( wish me luck!)
The filter section is the bit to the right hand side of the pic. It pops off very easily but not shown in this pic...
