electric fuel pump

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Has anyone added a low pressure electric fuel pump inline (before the engine at the tank) with the engine driven fuel pump for priming the engine during starts? This is on a 1986 351PCM engine. 
Thanks

	Should be no need for one while still using the mechanical fuel pump. If you want to use one instead of the mechanical pump you need to wire the pump power thru an oil pressure switch so the pump is not running unless the engine is turning over (safety issue).
