Sort of in response to this post, just figured I'd share my findings, maybe it'll help somebody.

I had the same problem, the 91 323 pump was different than any other pump in the bgs. The 323 pump is on the left and a protege LX pump is on the right



Seems theres mixed imformation about the lx assembly fitting in the 323 tank, I had tried using an escort gt assembly, but thats not even close.

The 91 323 actual fuel pump is different, but the assmebly is mostly the same. I got an assembly out of a 92 lx, swapped the fuel gauge sending unit, I think the lx one hit the tank because it was bent when I took it out to take pictures.

Umm you mean the other way no? I see BP on the left pump label and not to mention its a good bit bigger too!

Nope, the left pump and assembly came out of my 91 323 and the right pump and assembly came out a 92 Protege LX. I dont know about the labels but thats what I got. Both pumps I pulled out of Escort GTs looked like the pump on the right but the assembly and mounting for the tank were different.

Strange...

I agree, very strange.

Yup, I did have the same problem about the pump on my old '91 323. I actually have the pics posted on this site but too lazy to look for it. Yeah, just a lil customization on the pump assembly....**** should work fine.

The only thing I can say is the BP02 is the same assembly that is in my 1990 Protege LX sedan , 1991 Protege LX sedan and The tank I pulled from the MX-3 also had the same BP02 pump assembly.

Does the FSM list different flow ratings for the 323 and Protege?

The assembly I pulled from my '93 Protege LX parts car was the B3E7.

Do you guys know what does the BP02 means. I have a 90 lx 323 and the ecu that came in my car says BP02, the fuel assembly is BP02 but the other 91 323 i had had a B6 ecu and still a BP02 pump?
