Bought a new CAV pump for 255 Massey with A236 Perkins. The old pump has 1/4 inch OD in and return lines from the fuel filter.
The new pump has 5/16 compression type in and out lines. They provided a 5/16 inch compression ferrule. The old pump uses 1/4 inch lines with a rubber olive and the end of the line is not flared but has a bulb on the end.
Thought about taking the in and out fittings off the old pump and installing them on the new pump but the fittings on the new pump are marked with white paint. I guess if it were removed would void the warranty.
The ugly option would be using 5/16 to 1/4 compression unions or make new 5/16 line all the way to the filter but at the filter goes back to 1/4 inch and would need some kind of adapter I would guess.
Other ideas???
