Electric fuel pump
« on: May 10, 2021, 05:05:00 pm »
Hi guys just wondering if anyone can recommend a quite external electric fuel pump I can fit to my 66 coupe It gets abit annoying hearing my pump whining or whirring away.

Thanks,

Why are you running an electric pump anyway ? . A stock pump will do the job .

I like my electric fuel pump.
No cranking to get fuel to carb.
Also have cutoff switch for anti theft.
Got a Facet external on my car.
Just requires cutoff switch in case of accident.

Where have you got the pump mounted? My 66 has an old electric pump (not connected) mounted next to the fuel tank, I found it when I had the car up on a hoist when I was checking it before I brought it.

The pump was there when i bought it, its mounted next to the tank.
I will have a thorough look and make sure its not vibrating against the tank or the body but it just seems a noisy unit.

Hi all, I found this on the web!
May help if you're interested!

I can guarantee they'll be quieter than a Bosch 044!

I've got a mallory 110 electric pump that I find quiet enough.

I mounted it using a set of FJ Holden radiator bolts that have a rubber center section to isolate vibration.
Works pretty well.

I used an electric pump as I was having vapour lock issues in Darwin's heat and the electric pump allowed me to run a return style system to keep the fuel cooler, solved all my issues.

I'm recessing a BA Falcon pump assembly in a new 22g tank for mine.

Keeps the pump cooler, quieter and hidden away.

Don't buy an Aeroflow 97 gph red unless you want a really noisy pump. I have mine mounted on a big rubber insulator but it's still loud.

I decided to stick with what I have for the moment.

Most carburettors only like 5 - 7 psi. You would only use a Bosch 044 if you were running efi because they put out 73 psi and 300 lph.
If you used one with a carburettor you would have to run a bypass type fuel reg.

https://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/prod/BSH-580254044
Bosch 044 Fuel Pump Specs:
Bosch Part Number: 0580254044.
Minimum Current: 12 Volts.
Operating Pressure: 72.5 PSI (5 Bar)
Minimum Flow @ Outlet: 80 GPH (300 LPH)

Also, be careful of the thousands of Chinese copies out there being sold as genuine on eBay and automotive websites. They look very close to a genuine pump but if they are selling for $50 to $150, they are a copy.
