- Prevents vapour lock and fuel problems
- Specific for AC 2-valve mechanical pumps
- Mounts between pump and exhaust manifold
- Repro of original part
★ This heat shield is an essential component for reliable fuel pump operation, especially under heavy loads and high temperatures.
Application
Suitable for military lorries equipped with AC mechanical fuel pump 2-valve version (early type). The 2-valve pump was used in early production series and is characterised by a simpler design than the later 6-valve variant.
Installation notes
Mount the shield between the fuel pump and engine block, with the reflective side facing the exhaust manifold. Check that the mounting holes align properly with the pump and ensure correct sealing with a new pump mounting gasket.
Compatibility
Note: this shield fits ONLY the early 2-valve fuel pump. Vehicles with the late 6-valve pump require a different heat shield model. The 2-valve pump can be recognised by its simpler design and is often found in early-war production.
Historical context
Heat shields were applied to protect fuel pumps against the extreme heat from exhaust manifolds, particularly important under severe operational conditions in desert and mountain regions during WWII.
