hey didnt see this one when i searched- is it possible to use a different fuel pump for our car? i have a pump out of a mercedes 190E. its fuel pressure is 85 lbs. i was wondering- since our regulator would keep it at 34 or whatever- cant i use this one as the excess will just flow to the return on the tank? i'm asking cause i have it sitting here and it would be easy to make it work assuming i wouldnt destroy the fuel system in the car...

yeah those pumps do go bad a hell of a lot! hence why i have 2- i actually got em off the 300E (slightly different than the 190E) which comes with 2 pumps... used one on the car and kept the other for when it went bad again!
basically i'm just looking for something cheap and quickly purchaseable- so i can get this car on the road... i wouldnt do a hack job replacing the pump- i'd get some brass fittings to fit it so i could just hook it in place... where's a good place to find the other pumps? i just saw kragen wants 150 bucks. im looking for like... 50. so i think i might use this pump for a while unless i luck out at pick and pull... how much would you charge for a used one? the correct one? Thanks for the advice- yeah i've read a lot of your posts- seems you know your way around the wrench... |
