[/quote] 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) That's exactly my point. 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] (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is getting deep. Ok, yes static pressure is the same front or back depending on the height the pump is mounted . The fuel line is a restiction to flow. The longer the line from the tank to the pump the more restriction to flow from the tank to the pump. The harder the pump will have to work for the same difference in pressure. It's only a pair of 44 webers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Steve |

So I need a new pump and am going to locate it to the front. Is the CB good for my six and what regulator did you guys use?
Yes Todd... I am hijacking your thread... kinda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
For me it depends on the HP, faucet, CB are OK till about 140- 150hp, after that they will lean out your engine bad as they can't keep up.
After 150HP I use a Holley pump and regulator. BTW The little silver round pressure regulators are pure junk. |

why the big rush to relocate the pumps to the front? the cb will mount nicely to the rear of the lower firewall. you'll either have to figure a way to splice into the stock wiring at the rear so you can use the relay and fuse or run to a keyed terminal off the interior fuse panel. carry fuses with the later.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) You lower the pressure in the straw and the liquid is "pushed" through by outside air pressure. It was all explained to me when I bought the manual that also included this explanation for how them airplane things fly. Attached image(s)

As an airline pilot I can summarize how aircraft fly .....PFM
Pure F'n magic But seriously, it should work either way, just lie a hydraulic pump, which basically it is. |
