Need an electric fuel pump

[dan filipi]

For my 1200 cams project I need an electric fuel pump, 2-3 pound stable would be best because I'll most likely install this permanently on the bike so I don't want it over riding the float seats.

I know Randakk sells one but I'm not ready to shell out that much cash right now so what I'm looking for is an off the shelf pump.

I'm not aware of any electric fuel pump that would put out that small amount of pressure, unless it is a specially built for it. Most common pumps will pump around 12-14 psi unregulated...
I've got an adjustable regulator... :mrgreen:

Dan,

I used a Facet 40171 on my 1100 and it has been working great. It is 2-3.5 PSI, 15GPH. I got mine from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty for about $45.

That's a neat pump!! Thanks for the link, and info! :thanks:

Thanks for the info.

I was hoping for a off the shelf local source.
Dang, seems like the good stuff is online order only any more.

Aircraft Spruce West is in Corona, Ca. Possibly they would have one in stock there.

'85 prelude 1.8 with a carb fuel pump is what some guys are using, $60 - $65 for the pump

AutoZone has some low output electric fuel pumps. If you get one just a little high perhaps an inline resistor like used on old ignitions would bring it down to an acceptable output and increase the overall life of the pump.

I checked Autozone online which says order only for store pickup or delivery to home but that's a week probably.
I'll call around.

AutoZone here has at least three different models on the shelf. I was looking to find one strong enough to use on a fuel injected car. I hate in tank fuel pumps! :head bang: :head bang:

Airtex E8016S is another I have heard of used on bikes. 2.5-4 PSI. Should be able to find it locally.

Dan,Part # ep12,ep12s or 12s is a common used number for alot of manufacturers.Its a basic facet style pump I sell for many carburated aplications.Should work well.They sell around $30.00

Slabghost,The problem with what you want to do,elimanate the in tank pump,is pressure.It must be correct as fuellys are very particular,and a inline high pressure pump is not cheap.

Be consumer aware of the airtex brand.They hold the highest defect rate in the industry with fuel pumps.

Cheby Canobeers eat in tank fuel pumps as evidenced but a bazillion posts online and since they only sell the whole unit including level sensors they are far from cheap. This one died the day after I filled the tank so I'd much rather install one inline. I would be most grateful if you could recommend something that would serve the purpose.
Okay-Hijack over. What are your thoughts on my suggestion to Dan to use an ignition resistor inline to power a low volume fuel pump?

That part number goes to what brand?

 

[jdegase]

its an AC DELCO part number for many cars. slick little pump..

Ok Cool. Napa would probably have on of them.
So I have Track Auto, Napa and Kragen to call.
One of them should have something.
