Damage in transit

Damage in transit is generally easily recognisable.
Outwardly visible signs are:
  • Bumps and dents in the pump housing
  • Broken off connections or attachments
  • Dirty intake and outlet nozzles

Note:
If the packaging is damaged, in particular, take care to determine whether the fuel pump itself has not suffered any damage in transit.

Only remove packaging and transport closures, e.g. plugs in new fuel pumps, immediately prior to installation.

Attention:
Fuel pumps that have been dropped or damaged during installation must no longer be fitted.

Broken permanent magnet (stator)
All fuel pumps undergo quality controls and function checks at the factory before delivery. Damages such as these could only have occurred later as the result of improper handling.

Particles of the broken permanent magnet on the rotor The permanent magnet, which surrounds the rotor like a tube, has shattered. The fragments have jammed the pump. It appears that this fuel pump was dropped during installation.
