Default Electric Inline Fuel Pump Recommendations


"BobR" wrote in message
...
Anybody have a recommendation for a high pressure electric fuel pump
for fuel injected IOF-360 engine. It needs to be an inline pump with
output pressure of 25psi and hopefully doesn't cost an arm and part of
a leg. It will be installed external from fuel tank and use AN6
fittings.

Thanks


Automotive aftermarket and performance fuel pumps come in two categories for
carburators and fuel injection. I use an aftermarket MSD 12V in-line pump
for my Jeep's fuel injection system that puts out up to 100 PSI and can
supply up to a 500HP engine. It's a lot more reliable than the original
in-tank pump and I can replace it with a screwdriver in about 10 minutes.
You'll need a fuel pressure regulator in addition to the pump.

BTW, serious off-roaders use two pumps in parallel with an A/B swich in the
cab. These pumps act as a check valve preventing back flow through an
unpowered pump. If pump A fails, just power up pump B.
