Any of the pumps and carbs can be cured of this hazard. As the brass tube is 6mm diameter, it is easy to pull the tubes out and tap with an M7 x 1
thread. Have someone turn new brass fittings with this thread on them and presto, problem of those &&##@@! brass fittings coming out of the
pump and carby solved.
The problem can also be fixed by using lock wire around the hose clamp back to the carb or pump. Just doesn't look as neat.

Sorry about the fire. Hope it's all back together again.

Yeh i know it can be fixed, like anything really if you are keen enough but this was the second car i own to have the same problem, the newer style
pumps may not be as good quality but hey, they wont blow out, touch wood
