Electric fuel pump

Posted by todd landis On 2014/2/16 0:37:02

I find that for the first time I would like to add a fuel pump to my 1940 1808. Never needed one before, but I find here in Vegas, that the gasoline evaporates very quickly from a hot engine. And on a 110 day can have vapor lock, whith I never had in L.A.
I have bought plenty of electric pumps in the past but always make a very loud ticking, and no pressure regulator, the 12 carburetor is supposed to be beefy enough not to need a regulator.
Back to the 1940, would like suggestions on a fuel pump, that might include a pressure regulator, not be so loud, and just enough to get fuel to carburetor for starting, and maybe once in a great while push gas past the vapor lock area. So I would not need to run the electric pump very much, the mechanical will be able to pull gas past the off electric fuel pump.
Thanks
