What is the NPT fitting on a fuel pump?
The PA series fuel pump assemblies come with a female 1/4″ NPT fitting on the top plate. When converting your tank to fuel injection it is essential that your tank is properly vented. This rollover vent valve will thread right into the PA pump assembly.
What happens when the fuel level falls below the fuel pump?
When the fuel level falls below the fuel pump, the pump starts taking in air, which then generates more heat. This overheating can cause the fuel pump to wear out faster than normal or even cause it to fail completely if it gets too hot.
Which is the best pump for fuel injection?
We use Walbro high-performance pumps in all of our fuel injection modules. Walbro (TI Automotive) is an OE validated pump manufacturer that supplies products for two-thirds of the vehicles produced around the world today. Based on our testing we believe that Walbro offers the highest quality pump on the market.
Can a fuel pump be used in a non EFI gas tank?
For over 20 years Tanks Inc has been retrofitting non EFI gas tanks with internal fuel pumps using their PA Series EFI Gas Tank Conversion Module. This In-Tank Fuel Pump module can be used to retrofit an internal fuel pump into your original gas tank.
Which is the correct GPH for a fuel pump?
A good estimator of volume to power is approximately 10 hp per gallon or 2.64 hp per liter. For example if your pump flows at 50 gph it should be able to support a 500 hp engine (50 x 10 = 500). However, to actually know the gph you must also consider the fuel pressure required for your engine. 2. Fuel Pressure
Can a fuel pump be installed in a drop sump tank?
Ideal for installation with a fuel cell, drop sump style tank or when an in-tank unit is not practical. All pumps are 100% tested from the factory for quality assurance.
How are the flow rates of fuel pumps different?
Fuel pumps have different flow rates at different voltages. As voltage increases so does the speed of the fuel pump which will increase the flow of a pump at any given pressure. Because of this it is good practice to see how a pump is rated at a given voltage. Most cars will produce about 13.5 volts when running.
When the fuel level falls below the fuel pump, the pump starts taking in air, which then generates more heat. This overheating can cause the fuel pump to wear out faster than normal or even cause it to fail completely if it gets too hot.
