Electric Fuel pump question

simple....flow arrow shows flow of fuel through pump.....red is positive, black is negative.... you should think about a saftety circuit that will kill the pump in case of an emergency....

"Any of you have one on your car? I have a type one and it came with a

The facet pump is rather noisy and I personally found them to be unreliable. You must mount it under the tank, as it does not 'pull' fuel.

Personally, I'd recommend running the stock fuel pump. I ran the stock pump with dual webbers and never had a problem. I would imagine you'd be just fine with the stock arrangement considering you only have one carburetor.

I have looked the pump over and found no flow arrow. Safety circuit, like a switch or an inline fuse?

a safety circuit like this will be a nice addition....

Ok, the only helpful comment I can make concerns the weber carb. I am running dual webers and had problem with the fuel pressure. The weber books I have stress that to much fuel pressure causes them to run like crap (over 3 lbs). I put a fuel regulator after the fuel pump and set it at 3 lbs pressure. It ran much better without any exhaust popping or overloading at all ranges and the exhaust pipe is not black anymore. By the way, this is with a stock fuel pump. Good luck. Dennis

IMHO, you have been lucky.

I mounted one of John C's rotary pumps under the tank. I also wrapped it with 1/2" fuelproof aircraft soundproofing. It is almost dead silent and works very well.

It is critical to use a filter between the tank and pump. I put another filter in back. Clean fuel is a good thing.

I installed one next to the engine, is not under the tank but never gave me a hassle. Saved me from those mechanical pumps which always fail and cost 5 times the price of an electric one.

Yes, i did installed a filter as well.

Looks like I may need to consider the electric pump option. If they can hold up to the ethanol gas we have to run in our tanks for four months of the year. Since blended gas was introduced I have been going through Mexican/Brazilian mechanical pumps on average of one pump every two years.
