Re: electric fuel pump pressure

If you have a mechanical pump, then an option is to install an On-OFF switch for the electric pump, so it is not pushing fuel into the mechanical fuel pump when not necessary to do so. I have fitted one ($49.95 available from Clickonparts ) and intend to use it to just prime the carby and mechanical pump when necessary, or whenever the dreaded vapour lock causes fuel problems. My pump is fitted midway between the fuel tank and mechanical pump, on chassis rail under the car. It has a filter and non-return valve in it.

Over here you can still get petrol that has no Ethanol - very fortunate!
