Which car for Fuel Pump

Can anyone tell me vehicles that would have an electric fuel pump instead of a mechnical one?

need about 4psi at 100+ liters per hour

The last time I looked a lot of cars have "intank" pumps - this is not suitable for my application





Scot's do it better in Kilts.

VW golfs (mk1 and early mk2's) and Audi 80's have the bosch type underneath just in front of the o/s rear wheel. (Sometimes covered by a big noise dampaning tube thing).

No, I always remember it being under the boot in the subframe, covered in SH!TE and corroded to F%c& with no chance of fixing it in the middle of winter 10 miles from home





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I remember my MG being like that ,luckily it had wire wheels and a good clonk on the pump with the knock on mallet always got it going again .

??

Are we talking lift/supply pumps or injection system pumps??
If you plop a high pressure pump from an injection car, to feed carbortooters, it will blow them to bits. Likewise , if you use a low pressure (ie Mini, Moggy, any carb car...) to squirt at a set of injectors, you'll not break many speed records.
And don't forget to check part numbers for injection system pumps. I recall fitting a Pierberg/Bosch type pump to my SD1 Vitesse and it would only tick over. The pump I fitted looked identical but it was from a Vauxhall Cauliflower SRi and one digit was wrong on the part number so the flow rate/pressure was wrong.
Just a thought or two.....

A couple of comments, several of the pumps mentioned here are injection ones so no good for your 4 psi requirement!

I would say the best source is a Facet, taken from a carburettored Range Rover. These actually use the same Facet pump that you can buy from a motorsport supplier, but at breakers yard prices. It's located under the floor on the passenger side (I think?) under the "step" in the floor that the seats are mounted on.
