N.B.
All original style points type pumps are now dual polarity and can be fitted to either a positive or negative earth. For electronic pumps see below.
All 12 volt fuel pumps are also available with electronic switching instead of the traditional points. Part numbers are the same but end in either ‘EN’ or EP’, standing for ‘electronic negative’ or ‘electronic positive’. The correct polarity must be selected to match the vehicles wiring.
