I am installing a 2.0 engine with Weber 40's fitted. This is my first experience with a carbed engine. It came to me with the fuel block/pressure regulator pictured below. It was marketed or made by PMO. It has a broken fuel barb and I need to repair or replace it.
My question: Is this a good system? It is "1 in/4 out", 2 out to carbs, 1 out to gauge, 1 out to tank. The return to the tank regulates the pressure with a hose clamp that restricts the outflow to the tank. Should I fix or replace this or is there a better system. Haven't checked to see what pump I have yet. It has been moved up front. Haven't talked to PMO yet either. Thanks for any advice. Expect more questions in the next week or two as the install proceeds (wiring? breather hoses?). Stay tuned. Attached image(s) |

Burned to the ground you say.......just looked under the steering rack cover. I found a fuel pump that looks very much like a high pressure FI model. It looks the same as the low pressure one on my six, but it has a VW symbol and the number 0580463005 stamped on the motor end. That number does not match the PET part number which begins 311. It is the only number I can find on the pump. Can anyone look at a stock pump and check the number? I have a feeling the device pictured above was attempting to reduce 30 psi to 3.5! According to PMO's installation instructions the pressure is reduced only by restricting flow back to the tank (the clamp you see on the far left fuel line in the picture is the "reducer".)
Apparently it worked for the PO. Now what ? |
