Reply to "Fuel pump - Electric vs Manual"

bosswrenchMember

As it turns out, the way I ran my Carter & Holley electrics years ago may have something to do with their poor wear-out rate for me. I had added an auxilliary fuel tank in one do-everything car, as I could NOT gas up on Sunday and have it last the whole week commuting, which annoyed me. I used to let the main tank run dry until the engine died, then switch over to my aux tank, which took a few seconds. I now find that running a vane-type pump dry is VERY un-recommended! Backing this up, I've also lost a factory electric Z-28 fuel-injection pump to repeated instances of trying to stretch the mileage and having it run out (I carry a reserve tank). So the way you use your electric pumps is probably the key.
