I have been trouble shooting my fuel system and hot wired the fuel pump.
I essentially bench tested it in the front trunk with the two output lines going to a gas can and the supply line still hooked up. I just changed the filter and checked to make sure there was flow after the filter and there was. I applied 12v to the pump correctly with + and - correct (HM!), but no gas through the pump. Can I blow compressed air gently through the pump to see if there are any obstructions???? |

The connection on the pump is clearly marked (+) and (-). Embossed right in the plastic. There is only ONE outlet (D), one inlet (S), and one pressure relief or return ® port. The only way you can properly test the pump is by having a pressure regulator plumbed into the system.

(bench test wise) I pulled a hose in the engine compartment after the pressure regulator but no fuel when the pump was hotwired. |
