Lancia Stratos Question

I have been collecting reference material for quite some time in preparation for building my Hasegawa Stratos rally car, which I started a thread on some time ago after I scratchbuilt the Dino engine. I have a question about one of my pictures. I've already posted in a Stratos forum about this but I figured I might as well run it by you guys, too.

Here's the pic (the Stratos forum has pics disabled)



The part circled in green is my question. It looks like some kind of pump, and has hoses attached, but what in the world is it for?

I don't know if anyone can help, but thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Alex

Looks like a fuel pump to me... The lines feeding it are way too thin for it to be a coolant pump of any sort.

Re: Lancia Stratos Question

That sounds VERY reasonable and may well be correct--however, it looks too big for an electric pump yet is not attached to the engine, as with a mechanical pump. Perhaps it's just a large electric pump?

Thanks!

Alex

Re: Lancia Stratos Question

I just received wonderful assistance from the Stratos forum and learned that this is indeed one of two fuel pumps. It seems that I will be able to get all the help I need there, so expect to see me progressing on this build during Christmas and summer. Thanks for the help here!
