Fuel pump question for the V8 guys, what type and where do you mount?
I'm planning out the surgery on the car and basically am making a paper outline of what goes where (and what gets cut)... Thanks, Bill P. |

electric pumps are noisey. yes, and you can minumize the noise by using rubber isolation studs that you can use between the pump braket and what ever you mount it to. also use about at least 12" of rubber hose in a loop on both sides of the pump before it attaches to hard fuel lines. this helps isolate the vibration caused by the pump.
almost all electric fuel pumps that i have seen are ment to push fuel. and can cause premuture failure by mounting to high or to far away from fuel sump. some pumps are just plain old noisey. more ment for race type use than street use. no need for race pumps when only making 400hp. Troy |
