74 1.8 - I previously replaced the 3-port fuel pump with a 2-port pump, mounted to the engine firewall. I have since sent the 3-port pump in for rebuild and have it back.
I have been fighting fueling issues for a long time - fuel pressure drops to 0, engine bogs down/dies. Wait a couple minutes and starts again. I'm down to assuming that there must be a fuel line kink, or a fuel line collapsing somewhere. SO - winter project - All New Fuel Lines. I need some help from the collective brain trust please. Do I: 1: Move fuel pump to frunk by spare tire, stainless lines thru tunnel, new rubber lines everywhere else 2: Leave fuel pump on engine firewall, stainless lines thru tunnel, new rubber lines everywhere else 3: Revert back to stock setup with 3-port pump, stainless lines thru tunnel, new rubber lines everywhere else To complete the above - what do I need to order for the stainless line update, and who is the best to order from? Are they all made by the same person, or are there differences? (and do I need the reducing stainless line from CFR?) Thank you in advance for all the help - Steve |

if you do go for fuel pump up front don't forget to wire it up correctly so it preserves its "safety" function. the fuel pump only comes on when you start cranking the ignition on an L jet. not when you turn key to on position. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
means your fuel pump automatically stops running when the engine stops running even if ignition is on. helpful in a crash (heaven forbid) or if you get an engine fire (heaven forbid). i've left my fuel pump in stock location even after doing the fuel lines through tunnel to metal lines. like @Artfrombama have not had vapor lock problems. never had vapor lock problems before that either. stock 74 L jet. but i have shrouded the section of metal line that emerges from the tunnel and travels along the rear passenger cabin firewall section with reflective insulation. i figure that metal line being no longer plastic was an item that might now boil fuel after hot shutdown. |
