Electric in line fuel pumps.

Post by 68Roadrunner »

Just wondered whether anybody ever bothers to install low pressure in line electrical fuel pumps to the fuel line,to eliminate cranking forever and vapour lock after vehicles have been stood a while.
Seems a good idea to me, any thoughts .

Hi Richard, If the car has been standing for a while I always like the idea of the engine cranking for a while before it fires, so some oil can get around the engine and some oil pressure builds up ?

cheers

depends where you put the pump

low pressure electric pumps are pushers. so it would need to be under the tank

your mechanical pump by its nature is a sucker and a pusher. and its pretty good at both hence it works where it is up the front.

i.e i'd choose one or the other but not both
