Could also be a faulty fuel injector which is injecting too much fuel which is causing the pressure to get too low but the car would smoke a lot. The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel from the gas tank to the engine at the appropriate pressure required for performance.
Midiya Ep 014 Low Pressure 2 5 4psi 12v Universal Standard Self Priming Heavy Duty Gas Diesel In Line In Tank Electric Fuel Pump With Installation
Low pressure in tank fuel pump. Keep in mind that since the pressure requirements of a carbureted application is lower that an efi application the flow rate of your pump will be higher. Virtually all modern vehicles with internal combustion engines come equipped with fuel pumps. Cracked or clogged fuel lines if the fuel lines are cracked or clogged the fuel pressure will drop before it reaches the engine. Furthermore when using an external surge tank a low pressure lift pump is essential to fill the surge tank. Larbi ga8012s e8012s fd0002 p60430 ep12s 6414671 low pressure 25 4psi12v heavy duty gas diesel in line in tank electric fuel pump with installation kit metal solid petro gasoline or diesel engine 44 out of 5 stars 30. While conventional gear pumps work well pumping fuel at approximately 3 6 bar as found in typical efi systems they are not designed for use as low pressure lift pumps and they tend to run well above their intended operating speed when they are not building up substantial pressure ahead of them.
If the voltage delivered to the pump becomes low the pump will not deliver the fuel at the requisite pressure. Pn 13201 orb 06 inlet and outlet ports or pn 13205 38 inch. Hp high pressure gss340gss341gss342 are the main walbro 255 high pressure intank fuel pumps. Gsl392 is also a 255lph high pressure pump however this model is an inline fuel pump which means it usually mounts outside the fuel tanks. Check the fuel pressure with a manual fuel pressure gauge to figure out if you can find any problems with the pressure. Typical efi bypass regulators run between 40 80 psi while most carbureted bypass regulators are adjustable from 4 10 psi.
It will not handle being run under any significant pressure but for its intended application as a lift or pre pump it is ideal for many applications. Low pressure electric fuel pumps we stock a wide variety of low pressure electric fuel pumps to cover most carbureted and tbi applications. If so check fuel pressure regulator. A voltage drop is often due to a bad battery or improperly installed wires. Recent top seller for this product group facet cube 12v fuel pump 6 an 45 6 psi. This means that the fuel pump is capable of supporting higher horsepower.
Recommended aeromotive regulators include pn 13222 for engines up to 750 fwhp with carburetors requiring low 2 5 psi fuel pressure. This low pressure high flow submersible lift pump is mounted inside the main fuel tank and can either feed fuel to a surge tank or an external high pressure fuel pump directly.
