I have an overheating fuel pump in the front trunk. I think it overheats because of the heat coming off the radiator and screws up the pump enough to so I loose fuel pressure down to 1psi.
The pump is a new holley red w/a holley regulator. The pump gets so hot you cannot keep you hand on it. I iced it down a bit and my pressure immediately comes back up. I considered the heat could be from the pump, but the wiper motors also get too hot to touch. So where do you mount your pump (if not in the front trunk)? Or what kind of pump do you have (if in the front trunk)? ..or maybe I have to cut more openings..? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

How about the fuel filter ? My pump and filter is in the engine bay, and gets hot as well. the fuel filter was rite up against the engine sheet metal, once moved , the problem was less frequent, but as of yesterday, it messed with me again, the car doesn't overheat , neither. I was told maybe I need bigger fuel lines ? It sounds like the fuel pump is starving, I have a Mallory 60.
