Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 My gimpy fuel pump is dead My car is sitting in the parking lot at work with no fuel pump So.... Will pressurizing the inlet to a fuel pump do any harm? I wouldn't ASSume so, but who knows. I plan to use a small electric pump to fill the surge tank and keep it pressurized to a coupla PSI to help flow through the fuel filters(I was gonna put one between the low pressure pump and surge tank, one between the surge tank and high pressure pump, and a fine mesh filter between the high pressure pump and fuel rail). And most importantly, any reccomendations on a reliable fuel pump that can do this? It also needs to feed my webers in the interim at 2.5 psi All I can find are ludicrously expensive things and cheapie things, nothing in between unfortunately. ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fast Frog Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 Fuel pump Check: Get a second batt and set it near the rear of the car and disconnect your pos lead on the fuel pump. Hook up your neg lead from batt to neg post on fuel pump. Hook up a pos lead from the fuel pump and touch pos post on batt. If FP makes whirling noise, then your FP wiring is toast. And, of course, if nothing happens, the FP is toast. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
