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...

so anyhow i tested the old pump- nothing. i hooked up all the fuel lines- put on a new filter where the old one was- unhooked my vice grips (well one of em came undone (on what the PO had hooked up as the return line- and fuel comes gushin out- i'm like okay whatever- put the new line before tooooo much came out). when i unhooked the vice grip holding the line that had the filter on it- no fuel came out.... at which point i realized the PO had them hooked up the wrong way... so after all that then i have to switch the feed and return lines. but the merc pump fits in there decently. as soon as i find a porsche pump i'll put it in- i made some connectors up to fit onto the factory plug so i wouldnt ruin it.
very frustrating after spilling fuel all over me to find they were backwards! but the new pump turns on. yay! now to fix it tommorow. |
