I'm going to need a fuel pump for carbs. Any suggestions? I've heard mixed opinions on the Facet pumps. I'm looking at Holley pumps on eBay... are they robust enough that I can think about buying a used one? And then there's the question... mount it by the gas tank, or in the engine bay?

You can't PULL a liquid!

You can't PULL a liquid! Yeah, but if the pump is lower than the tank, it could still be located in the engine bay... fuel would run to the engine bay even without a pump (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was leaning towards front mount anyhow, if for no other reason than the pump would be better protected. |

If the pump is lower than the tank, the static pressure to the pump is the same, weather the pump is in the front or the back. |

[/quote] Yup, being a Boiler Sup and dealing with Hydronic loops/pumps all day, liquid doesn't lend to being sucked or pulled very well. Loves to be pushed as we all know it's a non-compressable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'll move my pump to the front at some point. But not right now. |
