fuel system (pump, lines, transmitter, tank, tank… for Renault AMI6-8

All fuel-controlling spare parts from us, are not applicable for fuel with an ethanol content of more than 5%. The warranty is not valid if high ethanol content such as E10 or greater is being used. Damages like swelling, dissolving or decay are a sign of using too much ethanol. Unfortunately, the developers of modern fuel are considering the impact on our cherished properties ever less.

Gasoline filter with check valve (membrane)preventing gasoline from flowing back again, universal

model. Better start after long immobilisation time. The membrane of the fuel pump does not run dry quickly. Indispensable for vintage cars. For fuel hose with 5,5 - 7,5 mm internal diameter. Diameter 34mm. Construction length totally 100mm.

Fuel line from synthetic, rigidly (as original). Suitable for Citroen 2CV. Highest quality material

polyamide'. Natural colour (as original). This polyamide line is resistant to modern fuels containing ethanol! Inner diameter: 4.0 mm. Outer diameter: 6.0 mm. The line fits into the original fuel line holders on the side of the chassis. The line is mounted on the side of the chassis and connects the tank and the fuel pump. Length: 2950 mm

Gasoline pump for Citroen 2CV6, original manufacturer! The better choice.

Gasoline pump for Citroen 2CV6, with hand lever! Label manufacturer. We let reproduce this gasoline

pump with hand lever. Because most of 2 cv do not run much and because of high percentage of Ethanol in fuel, the gasoline pump desiccates. With this gasoline pump it is possible to pump fuel by hand, saving the battery after long immobilisation time. Made in EEC.

Gasoline pump reproduction, for Citroen 2CV6.

Fuel hose black fabric coated, for Citroen 2CV. (between gasoline pump + carburetors. By meters

Diameter: 5,5mm. Fasten please the hose with a hose clamp. Customer cut, return not possible!

Fuel stabiliser - fuel additive - octane booster from ELF/Total, for winter storage and storage of

all 2 and 4-stroke engines. Ideal for our classic cars. Prevents corrosion in the tank and in the entire fuel system. Antioxidants prevent the fuel from ageing (the petrol remains ignitable). Binds and neutralises condensation in the tank. Eliminates starting difficulties when the vehicle has not been used for a long time. And as a special feature, the petrol additive has an octane booster. It therefore increases the ignitability of the petrol (knock resistance). Particularly interesting for regions in this beautiful world where there is no super petrol with at least 98 octane, or if you are involved in motor sports! Packaged in a high-quality aluminium can. Contents: 150ml. Application: 150ml is sufficient for 20 litres of petrol. Fill the tank completely. Fill in the fuel additive. Run the engine for 10 minutes. Done!

Gasoline stabilizer 250ml. Preserves and protects the fuel from ageing and oxidation. Prevents

corrosion in the entire fuel system. Ensures problem-free immobilization of vintage cars, convertibles, motorcycles, scooters, quads, lawnmowers, chainsaws, and other petrol-driven 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. Increases operational safety. With long-term effect. 25 ml from the dosing device preserve 5 l fuel. Before decommissioning, add the appropriate quantity to the tank and allow the engine to run for approx. 10 minutes.

Brake line and petrol pipe clamp made of metal, to be screwed on. Suitable for Citroen 2CV6, 2CV4

Dyane4+6, AK, ACDY, Mehari, AMI. This metal clamp is simply mounted with a screw. It can be used to attach the brake line and the petrol line at the same time. Older 2CVs up to the 1970s also had the clamp mounted on the chassis from above (1x behind the headlight carrier for the petrol line) and 1x below the main brake cylinder on the chassis (for the brake line).

Return stop (valve) for fuel or windscreen washer fluid. Connection: 6 mm. This valve is a real

improvement for classic vehicles that use a hand pump without a ball valve to deliver water. This ensures that windscreen washer fluid is always available at the spray nozzles. Please note the direction of flow during installation! It also prevents petrol from flowing back in the fuel line (useful for longer periods of inactivity). Please install this valve close to the petrol pump (between the petrol pump and the tank).

Citroën Ami 6 and Ami 8 Fuel Tanks

Throughout their production run, the Citroën Ami 6 and Ami 8 essentially featured two different fuel tank sizes, depending on the model and the engine installed:

25-liter tank

This was the standard size for almost all classic versions of the Ami 6 and Ami 8 equipped with the 602 cc two-cylinder boxer engine.

  • Ami 6 (1961–1969): From the introduction of the sedan through to the station wagon, the 25-liter tank was used throughout.
  • Ami 8 (1969–1978): The successor model also retained this fuel tank capacity in the standard configuration with 32 hp or 35 hp.
  • Production in Spain: Models built at Citroën Hispania (known as the Citroën 8 or Dynam) used the same specifications.

40-liter tank (approx. 8.8 gallons)

This larger version was introduced specifically for the Citroën Ami Super (built from 1973 to 1976). Since the Ami Super used the significantly more powerful and thirstier 1,015 cc four-cylinder engine from the Citroën GS, a larger capacity was necessary to ensure an acceptable range.

In summary: The standard models (Ami 6 & 8) used the 25-liter tank, while the top-of-the-line Ami Super featured an exclusive 40-liter tank.

The connection from the fuel tank to the engine in the AMI

A flexible yet rigid plastic hose connects the fuel tank to the mechanically driven fuel pump.

Are there different fuel pumps for the AMI?

There were differences in the fuel pumps: The first models had a horizontal inlet, while later models with 602 cm³ engines (M28 engine) only had fuel pumps with a bottom inlet and vertical fuel delivery to the carburetor.

We carry all fuel pumps, fuel lines, fuel pump pushers, and spacer plates for every 2CV - AMI engine as new parts. Fuel pumps with additional manual operation are also available in our inventory.

Since the AMI 8 Super uses the engine from the Citroën GS, you can find the corresponding replacement parts under the heading: Citroën GS

Is there a fuel return line on the AMI6 or AMI8?

What all 2CVs, Dyanes, Meharis, and AMIs have in common is the absence of a fuel return line to the fuel tank. The excess fuel produced when starting the engine is drained through the intake manifold. At its lowest point, below the carburetor, the manifold has a drain hole through which the fuel drips out over the engine block. This is why you smell gasoline during unsuccessful starting attempts.

It is extremely important that this drain hole is never blocked. If it becomes clogged, fuel accumulates in the intake manifold and can ignite, which in the worst case can lead to a fire in the 2CV.

What can you do if you need to start the AMI after it has been sitting for a long time?

Here’s a tip: If the AMI has been sitting for a long time, gasoline flows back from the pump into the tank. This causes the fuel pump diaphragm to dry out quickly. When you start the engine, it then takes a very long time for the fuel to be drawn in (and sometimes it doesn’t work at all). To fix this, simply remove the fuel cap and, while a second person starts the engine, blow forcefully into the tank (place your lips on the fuel filler neck!). This creates positive pressure in the tank, which pushes the fuel forward toward the fuel pump.

Are there any other tips?

We also carry a fuel filter with a check valve as an upgrade. This prevents the fuel from flowing back so easily.

We also carry fuel additives that can be added during a long planned downtime (winter break). These prevent the formation of acids in the fuel for a very long time. Additionally, you should only use Super Plus gasoline.
