Reply to "Electric Fuel Pump to Prime carb after car sits for period of time"

DWR46Member

I have all my cars set up this way, so never a problem with starting after they set for a length of time. Airtex makes a number of inline pumps with different pressure settings (available on Amazon). Choose one with 12 volts and 3-5 psi. On the Pantera, I installed it in the line between the tank and the mechanical pump. These pumps are designed to have fuel pulled through them by the mechanical pumps, so I have a toggle switch under the dash and turn it off after the cold start. If I should ever experience vapor lock in hot weather, I can turn on the electric to boost the fuel flow.
