I have an overheating fuel pump in the front trunk. I think it overheats because of the heat coming off the radiator and screws up the pump enough to so I loose fuel pressure down to 1psi.
The pump is a new holley red w/a holley regulator. The pump gets so hot you cannot keep you hand on it. I iced it down a bit and my pressure immediately comes back up. I considered the heat could be from the pump, but the wiper motors also get too hot to touch. So where do you mount your pump (if not in the front trunk)? Or what kind of pump do you have (if in the front trunk)? ..or maybe I have to cut more openings..? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I had mine under the fuel tank, and they go bad there too. Now, mine is in the front trunk, with some insulation over it. I mainly moved it so that it is easier to swap out when it goes bad.
For a while I had one in the engine compartment, but electric pumps are pushers, not pullers, so I was having some fuel starvation issues. Mark |
