Hey guys. I read somewhere that the FI fule pump doesn't suck the fuel from the tank, is this true?
The fuel pump must be located below the lowest point in the tank to make use of all the tanks capacity??? I (PO modification) currently have the fuel pump located below/near the battery shelf. Is this too high? Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Kerry |

QUOTE(zeppelin71 @ Sep 2 2003, 08:38 AM) Can someone please explain what vapor lock is? How does it affect the pump? I'm super curious... fuel pumps pump liquid - they don't have enough displacement ability to pump gas (vapor) gasoline boils (turns to vapor) at about 140F - once the gasoline in your pump and fuel lines turns into a big vapor bubble, it won't pump very well - and if it could - the car won't run on it. with an EFI car that runs the pump a few seconds when you turn the key, you can turn it on and off lots of times in the hopes that you can suck through enough cool(er) fuel from the tank and fuel lloop to re-establish a hydraulic head abd be able to start pumping again. |
