hello all , i have a electric fuel pump on my 1985 6.2 it was mounted under the hood when i got the truck. Should it be closer to the fuel tank or does it matter? Thanks

MrBanjo 02-20-2008, 09:38 PM most aftermarket 12v pumps are built for pushing not pulling. I'm guessing the pump you have must be a puller otherwise it wouldn't be able to deliver enough fuel to the IP. does it make a lot of noise when you turn on the key? hbfarm3 02-22-2008, 04:43 PM yea it make noise i think its a rotary vane type it looks like the electric pump on the newer 6.5's in the frame, it puts out 9psi i think thats the same as the mechanical pump. I moved it the other day its on the frame now right after the selector valve. still have rough idle issues though.:( but thats another thread | ||
