Re: Auxiliary Electric Fuel Pump
Posted by acolds On 2014/9/6 22:13:45
I installed my electric pump along the frame rail on the outside in front of rear wheel. I chose this place for ease of repair or replacement of pump or filter with out the need to get car up on jack stands or ramps which I don't carry with me. I can reach it with car on the ground. safety first as I do not trust jacks with me under car.
Also carry a piece of fuel line which can be used to eliminate either pump if one should fail.
Pump is mounted with rubber and the rubber hose help to prevent any noise or vibration .
This setup makes for much quicker starting after car sets for extended periods. Also helps when starting when hot as my carb is enclosed in a air box for the supercharger.
My pump has a three way switch off in middle spring loaded for short term use and on for extended use such as would be needed if mechanical pump was to fail.
After having this system I have been more than satisfied with the results. With the added benefit of not having to use the starter motor and battery as much
