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) |

That makes sense.
You can add a tee fitting and add a restrictor on the return side so that fuel is conatantly flowing through Mark |

(I would rather "T" in the front of the car than after to run a 2nd line from the engine to the tank.) The restrictor is a separate in-line. There isn't one built into the return line fitting and on the bottom of the gas tank, right. And that will flow might be enough to cool the pump. |
