Re: [FWDLK] Auxiliary electric fuel pump!



Check valve? the pump itself will work as a check valve (actually, both pumps will), it's a good idea to wire a manual switch between the ignition circuit and the new pump. Electric pumps have been known to fill the crankcase with fuel if the engine mounted fuel pump should develop a leak. Electric pumps are great for priming the carbs after long term storage and for counteracting vapor-lock on hot days.The new pump should be mounted as close to the tank as possible to get the maximum advantage.

Anyone ever install a back-up auxiliary electric fuel pump in conjunction with the regular mechanical fuel pump? I hear a check valve is needed in such a set-up. Who can enlighten me with their experiences! Thanks in advance!
