Is the statute of limitations up? lol Can you post it on YouTube?

 

What kinds of modifications are on this engine?

I once had an old electric fuel pump made I think by Holley that was pretty noisy when mounted directly to the inner fender. I found these rubber isolators that I placed between the pump and fender, and that reduced the noise to a tolerable thud-thud-thud from a really grating ping-ping-ping.

When that pump failed, I re-installed the original mechanical pump to get me going again. In the mean time, I got a couple of cheap electric pumps from Summit that I thought I would use. But just running them on the bench showed they were much noisier than the old Holley that died. I was thinking that in order to suppress those noises, I would have had to wrap them in rubber, then a layer of lead; I returned them.

Recently, my original mechanical pump developed a leak; it was 50 years old, so it's passed its life expectancy. As another stop-gap, I purchased a Spectra Premium from my local Pep Boys for like $16. It was physically identical to the original, so the lines all hooked up with no changes. It's rated at 25 gph, and I have not noticed any fuel starvation yet, though I did not try to run it at WOT for more than a few seconds at a time.

So I'd like to find a good electric pump that won't drown out my engine, or blow my whole car budget for the year.

 

I never mounted either pump on rubber bushings and like I said before, neither are noisy. These are the small square electrics, not the high performance ones you'd pick for drag racing. You can't hear either with the engine running. 30 gal/hr works out to getting 2 mpg at 60 mph. You'll never use that much in day to day driving.

 

Why would I ?
