Your are reading correctly Jim.

4-5 is "safe" for print purposes. You may or may not be able to get that pump down to 3.5-4.

I say run it and see what you can get it down to. I dont have enough info on your fuel pump to make a educated judgement.

As always, you are a great resource Brad. I am 99% sure my pump is the stock FI pump. I intend to replace the broken hose barb and plumb things as they were. If the gauge reads 3.5-6 (and if fuel is not leaking or blowing by the needles) I'll leave it alone. I'll report when I get the engine in and running. I'm sure I'll have a few more questions for this board before I light the fire (no pun intended).

Kevin, thanks to you as well. I'll be in touch soon for a repeat on your instructions regarding a breather box. I found one at a VW shop as you suggested, just need a reminder on how to hook it up.

LB,

I know just enough to be dangerous. I cant/wont recall everything every time.

I do my best to not lead this group down dangerous paths..

Luckily we have several people who can correct me when I'm wrong.

Call me a nervous nelly but I agree with Rhody's post earlier. I don't think I could trust that setup.

I'd go out and spend $45 and get a facet, mount it like the 75 cars did up front and be happy and safe with a new low pressure pump. (This is how I did my -6 conversion by the way).

Sean, I have some reservations too. My thinking is that it worked before; it was designed by PMO the carburetor specialists; and, if the gauge reads 3-5 psi then the "restriction/regulation" from the clamp on the return line is not very much. It sounds to me like it is the pressure regulator in the stock system which allows the build-up of high pressure, rather than the pump itself.

When I was in Virginia, my fuel pump died. I pulled it, and discovered it was some old Mitsubishi model, totally gunked up with rust and crap.

I called every FLAPS in Richmond, but couldn't find a Facet. I settled on a Purlolater model, that pushes 3-5 psi. After 2 years, it's worked well so far. Oh, no return line.

Jim,

I trust PMO, I guess if they said it was OK, then I'd trust Richard's judgement, but I'd definitely replace ALL hoses with PMO's recomendation, or have them send me the hoses they use.

You'll have to fax Richard at PMO, they don't do the phone thing, but he should call you back.

Do like I said and find out exactly what the pump puts out. I'm betting its a low pressure/low volume unit that they like to sell with a factory part number. They may have used that pump in other cars.

jim, is the hose on the left "protected" from the clamp by electricians tape? if so that's a nice touch. phiss, spark, whoomp. damn, should've sprung for the "known pump".

Yep, the tape is under the "regulator" clamp. I'm going to fax PMO tomorrow as Sean suggested. Hope I get a response.

brad, actually it's ok. the wifes been telling me to walk away from that "turkey ranch" for months. all ready spoke with the attorney, things could go down hill for them in a hurry, when i decide to screw with someone i get real personal. everything on that project is going to come to a screeching halt. all of the "project notes" are stuffed in my little pea brain. they don't have shit. like i said, lots of time for the silver car and yard. like you said, "vulgar display of wealth", right. i'll go down to arcata ca. and visit my oldest son.

on my thread re multiple pictures. you said send you the pictures and you'd make a thumbnail and post. what's the place to send the email to,can't include pictures via the 914 site that i can figure. i'm a computer dope, i mean it, lower case postings and a picture or two is all i can handle. the directions others provided were great, but it's like swell what does all this mean? got off topic. go ahead and spank me guys.

FWIW this is the "possibly temporary" pump & filter setup on my -6 conversion. It may either be redone or moved, depending on the fuel cell setup I decide on (rectangular on the trunk floor vs. bladder in the stock tank.) This is a stock 914-6 fuel pump (I think).

I can't think why you'd need a pressure regulator if you have the correct pressure/volume pump?

I did this on my 2.0 /4. 45 for a facet? i payed $23 New in box. there is a veedub resto/custom place that sells everything for cheap. i mounted my pump under the gas tank, in that little acces hole- drilled through passenger footrest and bolted it in.....does everynody's car have a big contoured styrofoam block under passenger footwell/ firewall?
