Best low pressure 1.5 psi electric fuel pump?
Hey fellas, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good electric low pressure 1.5 psi fuel pump. I have a 5 psi pump now with a Holley fuel pressure regulator but something stopped working correctly. I’m running really rush now and the motor is starting to stumble after running good.
Thanks, George |

Re: Best low pressure 1.5 psi electric fuel pump?
I have heard that one can run a 12 volt pump on 6 volts and get roughly half the pressure that would be available on 12 volts? Any truth to this?

Re: Best low pressure 1.5 psi electric fuel pump?
George,
I have been through many electric fuel pumps over the years, some better than others. The pumps I like the best are “Auto Pulse FRB” pulse type fuel pumps. You will need a pressure reducer with them as they are 4 - 6 PSI. They are a bit pricey but after being stuck on the side of road more than once, it’s been worth the price. I run these pumps on all my cars and have been very pleased with there performance. Here is a link. http://autoperformanceengineering.com/html/fr_pumps. Regards. |

Probably will need a regulator to maintain the 1.5 psi.

6 or 12 Volt ? NAPA offers a couple that show specs as being 1.5 - 4 psi and 12 volt. Part numbers # 610-1052 and # 610-1051 by Balkamp. I have had good luck with those. If you want consistent 1.5 psi you will need a regulator. |

Re: Best low pressure 1.5 psi electric fuel pump?
One other question, how hard is it to just go back to the manual fuel pump?

I use a K&N from Speedway (PN 465-810401). It is 12 volt and puts out exactly 1.5 psi without a regulator.

Re: Best low pressure 1.5 psi electric fuel pump?
It really depends on whether the pump rod bushing has been changed or turned to block the oil outlet.
