Yes it is possible, water when in it comes in contact with oxygen (air) can cause rust and corrosion damaging pump internals. Water does not have the lubrication properties that fuel does increasing wear and heat. A small amount of water is present in most all fuels, especially fuels with ethanol added.

Hi, are all inline electric fuel pumps also pull-through fuel pumps? My truck can sit for weeks and sometimes months between starts. I want to use an electric fuel pump to prime the carburetor in my truck before I start it. After the truck starts then I turn the electric fuel pump off and have the engine just run on the stock mechanical pump. But the mechanical pump has to be able to pull fuel through the turned-off electric fuel pump. That's why I ask if all electric fuel pumps are pull-through pumps. Also are there temperature limitations on an electric fuel pump? For example will an electric pull-through fuel pump work ok at -10*F that has been sitting in -10*F temperatures for several weeks?
where are Holley products manufactured? I'm considering making a purchase but have seen some "old" companies "new" chinese made stuff and it is so poorly machined it doesn't even function correctly. If Holley has taken this route I wont fool with it.
Not mentioned are the AN fittings. For example. If you run a 3/8" fuel tube (steel, aluminum, rubber or teflon), the I.D. is .375". Using AN 37 degree flare fittings, the I.D. of a -6 fitting is 0.285" which is 0.090" smaller than the tubing. Going to -8 tube fitting the I.D. is 0.390" which is 0.015" larger than the tubing. Most people that have not used AN fittings believe that a -6 is equivalent to 0.375 I.D. and that is not the case.
Got any high pressure high GPH diesel pumps that cost less than $200.00 ??? I have a 5.9L 12 valve P-pump Cummins and I am looking for a reliable affordable pump with 3/8 or 1/2 inlets/outlets that can maintain a minimum of 20PSI at full throttle

I have a 300 inline in my 72 F250 is plan to use a sniper EFI, Ill be using an auxiliary tank as my primary and I'm curious as to what pump you would recommend? I realize most of these comments are from 2 years ago but it can't hurt to ask
I just installed a 2002 5.7 Vortec Kodiak Marine engine in my 1981 Chevy 3/4 ton truck. I equipped the engine with my stock Quadra-jet 4-brr carburetor and had to use an electric fuel pump , due to the Kodiak 5.7 engine not having the hole for the mechanical pump. I contacted the engine manufacturer and was told that the engine has a 383 stroker camshaft and the engine produces about 300hp. I am having a problem with the engine wanting to die out (it does) due to lack of enough fuel at intermittent times and will not start until a minute or two passes. Since i put the engine in last week i am currently on my third fuel pump. The first two were duds the same day. Today i went to the local auto parts store and purchased a Mr. Gasket brand pump that is rated at 4 to 7 psi. I have the pump in the engine bay with the hood completely off. After getting on the throttle a few times it stalled out on me and would not start until about a minute or two passed. My question to you please : (1) What size fuel line hose should i use ? (2) What pump do you recommend for my setup ? (3) And what do i do about the vapor return line that is left over now that i am no longer using an mechanical pump ? Please help. Thank you.
5/16" fuel line should be just fine for 300hp. If you are using pump gas you will need a fuel pump capable of flowing at least 120lph or 32gph at 7psi. I believe your installation of the pump in the engine bay is your biggest problem! An electric fuel pump is much better at pushing fuel than pulling fuel so it needs to be as close as possible to the fuel tank and mounted below the lowest fuel level so it is gravity fed. If you are using the 12S Mr Gasket pump you should be fine as long as you mount it correctly and in the proper location! Thx J
@@HolleyPerformance Thank you so much ; i already moved the fuel pump and used the 5/16" fuel line and it works fine now. Thanks again , i really appreciate your help.
I have a Dodge 318(TBI stock), and plan on converting it to carb (with a regulator). And need to replace the stock in-tank fuel pump. I have considered just installing an inline pump ahead of the tank(90' Ram). Is that a bad idea?
Has the in-tank pump failed? if not you can get a bypass fuel pressure regulator to reduce the pressure down to work with a carburetor. www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_pumps_regulators_and_filters/regulators/ If your pump is bad then yes, you can replace it with an external pump. Keep the pump as close as possible to the tank and below the low fuel level. Some plumbing work will be necessary to make it all work but look at these pumps if you choose to go with an external unit. www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_pumps_regulators_and_filters/fuel_pumps/carbureted_fuel_pumps/ Thx J
Nice video. I have a Sniper EFI installed in my 73 Chrysler Imperial ad it's working great, however the fuel pump is a bit noisy considering a luxury sedan environment. I'd like to know if there's a quieter electric in line fuel pump for my application. Thanks.
My car came with a 160 gph pump so your saying that was good for 1700 hp ? It was a dead head to if I went with a 120 would it run cooler maybe? Or does that matter
Ok I have a 1997 350 vortex converted over to carb in my 1987 Monte Carlo summit racing intake. I was wondering with electric fuel pump I’ll need ? The car stalls when I mash the gas.

You didn't specify which Weber carb you have, in my experience with the side draft carbs they like to have about 3.5psi max. Assuming your wanting a self regulating fuel pump here are a couple of choices. the Holley 12-426 and 12-425 www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_pumps_regulators_and_filters/fuel_pumps/carbureted_fuel_pumps/carbureted_electric_fuel_pumps/parts/12-426 Mr Gasket 42S www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_pumps_regulators_and_filters/fuel_pumps/carbureted_fuel_pumps/carbureted_electric_fuel_pumps/parts/42S Most all of our other electric pumps would require and external regulator to bring the pressure down enough for the Weber.

One of our Holley red pumps part # 12-801-1 should work just fine. You could also use a Mighty might pump part #12-427.

I have an 06 Z71 flex fuel Avalanche and I’ve installed an GM Performance 6.2 ls3 rated at around 515 hp, I’ve somewhat recently, about 5 or 6 months ago, started running e85, by the way it’s my daily driver. Within the last 8 weeks I’ve replaced the fuel pump twice and I think the pump I just put in is exhibiting the same pre failure symptoms. It’s an intake pump in a return less system. I’d ultimately like to add some more performance adders such as forced induction but obviously need to get this issue resolved first. I’ve been looking at retro fitting an after market in tank pump and filter do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Can you tell me more about your current set-up? What pump are you currently using, what size fuel line/hose? what pressure does your system need? When you say returnless, you have no regulator what so ever (in tank or external)? Are you using Pulse width modulation? Thx J
HolleyPerformance, Thanks for the quick response! It’s the factory configuration currently, in tank pump, regulator, filter unit, 3/8” supply line. It does have the factory charcoal canister and evap solenoid but no return, Im not opposed to installing a return depending on the feasibility/cost. I believe it should be running at 70-75psi under load and 60-65psi at idle. I’m still getting familiar with the operating system and have a custom tune but I do believe it uses pulse with modulation.
SO it's a factory in tank fuel pump??? If so, I would check with your GM dealer and make sure that the replacement unit you are using is in fact compatible with E-85 fuel! J
really good video. I have a question, what if I need a fuel pump ASAP for my stock engine, just to get it running, but plan on increasing horse power next year? should I buy a pump for the horsepower it has at the moment and upgrade later? or can a stock 125hp engine run with an oversized pump for 200hp and have no problems?
That's a bit of a tricky question. A lot of it depends on the type of pump used and how much of an increase in horsepower you plan to do in the future. Most pumps should be able to handle under-performing when used with a quality return style regulator and adequate return line. But remember that if you restrict a larger fuel pump you will create more heat and over time it can cause damage or even failure. There are plenty of budget minded pumps available today that would supply your stock engine. Why not use one of these now and save your money till you know exactly what you will need for the upgraded engine! thx J
My husband installed a Holly electric fuel pump on our '70 Nova. The thing sounds like the car is ready to fall apart. Sometimes, it's quiet, and sometimes it super loud. It seems to be getting progressively worse. We haven't figured out a pattern as to why this is happening. Does anyone know why it sporadically sounds loud, and what can be done about it? My husband's tightened it to where it isn't rattling, so it's not that. It is mounted in back by the fuel tank. Thank you.
I don't know. It's a Holly electric fuel pump putting out between 4 and 7 psi. The carburetor we use calls for about 5 to 5 1/2 psi. We filled the tank yesterday and the noise stopped. For now. The gas tank still had about 6 gallons of fuel in it. Hubby figured it might have gotten low enough that the fuel pump was sucking air. We're hoping that's what it is. Like I said, for now it's quiet. Thank goodness. :-)
There are several factors that are crucial when using an electric fuel pump. First the pump needs to be mounted as close to the tank as possible (elec pumps are better at pushing fuel than sucking fuel). The pump also needs to be positioned as low or lower than the lowest possible level that the fuel will be in the tank! Since it sounds like you are using the stock fuel pickup (correct me if i'm wrong) in the tank, it's a good idea to drop the tank and pull the pickup assembly out for inspection. 48 years can change a lot of things. The pick up could have been damaged from previous installations or even have pin holes causing fuel aeration or completely rusted off, reducing its ability to pick up fuel as low as it should be able to in the tank. replacements are inexpensive and can be found at most auto parts stores or online. thx J

Not mentioned are the AN fittings. For example. If you run a 3/8" fuel tube (steel, aluminum, rubber or teflon), the I.D. is .375". Using AN 37 degree flare fittings, the I.D. of a -6 fitting is 0.285" which is 0.090" smaller than the tubing. Going to -8 tube fitting the I.D. is 0.390" which is 0.015" larger than the tubing. Most people that have not used AN fittings believe that a -6 is equivalent to 0.375 I.D. and that is not the case.
Got any high pressure high GPH diesel pumps that cost less than $200.00 ??? I have a 5.9L 12 valve P-pump Cummins and I am looking for a reliable affordable pump with 3/8 or 1/2 inlets/outlets that can maintain a minimum of 20PSI at full throttle
What in-tank electric fuel pump can I use on a 2008 Subaru Impreza and should I upgrade from my stock oem fuel injectors??? Especially, since my current modifications such as: 3" single exhaust pipe catback (my stock vehicle exhaust system was a dual exhaust set up), Cold Air Intake with a throttle body spacer, and $58.00 Chip connected inside the engine compartment (which I'm not even sure makes a difference, don't judge me). Any suggestions or anything??? Help!!!!
Great info, the formula at 2:30 didn't exactly specify whp? or crank hp? Which one to consider in the calculation?
Fuel calculations like this are always crank horsepower.
Hey I have a Holley blue electric fuel pump that's making a lot of noise when it's on is that normal? Is there any way to silence ? Or should I just buy another fuel pump from you guys thats more quiet

I have a 300 inline in my 72 F250 is plan to use a sniper EFI, Ill be using an auxiliary tank as my primary and I'm curious as to what pump you would recommend? I realize most of these comments are from 2 years ago but it can't hurt to ask
My car's fuel pump malfunctioning and I gonna change it and come across your video. It make me easy to buy more suitable one. Thank you
I just installed a 2002 5.7 Vortec Kodiak Marine engine in my 1981 Chevy 3/4 ton truck. I equipped the engine with my stock Quadra-jet 4-brr carburetor and had to use an electric fuel pump , due to the Kodiak 5.7 engine not having the hole for the mechanical pump.
I contacted the engine manufacturer and was told that the engine has a 383 stroker camshaft and the engine produces about 300hp.
I am having a problem with the engine wanting to die out (it does) due to lack of enough fuel at intermittent times and will not start until a minute or two passes.
Since i put the engine in last week i am currently on my third fuel pump. The first two were duds the same day. Today i went to the local auto parts store and purchased a Mr. Gasket brand pump that is rated at 4 to 7 psi. I have the pump in the engine bay with the hood completely off. After getting on the throttle a few times it stalled out on me and would not start until about a minute or two passed.
My question to you please :
(1) What size fuel line hose should i use ?
(2) What pump do you recommend for my setup ?
(3) And what do i do about the vapor return line that is left over now that i am no longer using an mechanical pump ?
Please help. Thank you.
5/16" fuel line should be just fine for 300hp. If you are using pump gas you will need a fuel pump capable of flowing at least 120lph or 32gph at 7psi. I believe your installation of the pump in the engine bay is your biggest problem! An electric fuel pump is much better at pushing fuel than pulling fuel so it needs to be as close as possible to the fuel tank and mounted below the lowest fuel level so it is gravity fed. If you are using the 12S Mr Gasket pump you should be fine as long as you mount it correctly and in the proper location! Thx J
@@HolleyPerformance Thank you so much ; i already moved the fuel pump and used the 5/16" fuel line and it works fine now. Thanks again , i really appreciate your help.
@@manfredschield9745 Glad we could help!
May I use electric fuel pump for pumping engine oil (hot oil) ?
Looking for a inline pump to feed a turbo blow thru 5.3 setup 900hp max
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION
I have a Dodge 318(TBI stock), and plan on converting it to carb (with a regulator). And need to replace the stock in-tank fuel pump. I have considered just installing an inline pump ahead of the tank(90' Ram). Is that a bad idea?
Has the in-tank pump failed? if not you can get a bypass fuel pressure regulator to reduce the pressure down to work with a carburetor.

If your pump is bad then yes, you can replace it with an external pump. Keep the pump as close as possible to the tank and below the low fuel level. Some plumbing work will be necessary to make it all work but look at these pumps if you choose to go with an external unit. www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_pumps_regulators_and_filters/fuel_pumps/carbureted_fuel_pumps/ Thx J
Aeromotive are great pumps
Nice video. I have a Sniper EFI installed in my 73 Chrysler Imperial ad it's working great, however the fuel pump is a bit noisy considering a luxury sedan environment. I'd like to know if there's a quieter electric in line fuel pump for my application. Thanks.
I have a 383 sbc full roller engine. Any ballpark idea of which pump it would need?
My car came with a 160 gph pump so your saying that was good for 1700 hp ? It was a dead head to if I went with a 120 would it run cooler maybe? Or does that matter
My external fuel pump is almost louder than the damn car itself 😭😭😭
Great information. I'm converting over to a Sniper system and this is perfect for what to do to upgrade my fuel system.
So many big words I can’t understand nun of this 😂
*Let the Sunshine In...*
If i wanted to have a math session this would not be it...
What about casual driving fuel pump for a 305 gen 1
Ok I have a 1997 350 vortex converted over to carb in my 1987 Monte Carlo summit racing intake. I was wondering with electric fuel pump I’ll need ? The car stalls when I mash the gas. I’m currently running a cheap one. Don’t know the horse power, have Wilwood brakes, and running unleaded fuel. I need to purchase ASAP.
There are a lot of variables for fuel pumps!? Are you currently using a mechanical or electric fuel pump??

I have a Holley electric fuel pump part # 12-125. 125 GPH this pump works for ls swap ? ( engine vortec 5.3)
NO, that pump is designed for carbureted use. you will need a pump rated for EFI use such as our 12-920. Thx J
@@HolleyPerformance what's recommended for turbo ls swap that's carbed?
I have a doubt, for some weber carburetors which electric pump do you recommend?
You didn't specify which Weber carb you have, in my experience with the side draft carbs they like to have about 3.5psi max. Assuming your wanting a self regulating fuel pump here are a couple of choices. the Holley 12-426 and 12-425

Most all of our other electric pumps would require and external regulator to bring the pressure down enough for the Weber. We have a large selection of regulators that would work, you can check them out here.

I am trying to find an electric fuel pump for my 351M (400) for my '78 F250. I have no clue which one to get. any suggestions? thanks!
Are you running a carburetor or EFI? Do you already have a regulator?
hi, thanks for the reply! have a 2bl carb that came stock with the 351m. freshly cleaned. I do not have a regulator
One of our Holley red pumps part # 12-801-1 should work just fine. You could also use a Mighty might pump part #12-427. Be sure to mount the electric pump as close to the fuel tank as you can ( electric pumps are better at pushing fuel than pulling) and below the lowest fuel level in the tank as possible.
Here are 2 charts to help you make an educated decision. Dont forget the filters!!

Thx J
thanks again! so will i need to get a regulator as well or will this do the job well enough by itself? have a good one!
If you use one of the pumps I suggested above you will not need a regulator! Good luck! J
Can the holley red pump be dead headed to feed a carburetor?
Yes, Our red pump has an internal pressure relief valve with a maximum pressure of 7psi for carburetors and is designed for use without an external regulator. Thx J

I have an 06 Z71 flex fuel Avalanche and I’ve installed an GM Performance 6.2 ls3 rated at around 515 hp, I’ve somewhat recently, about 5 or 6 months ago, started running e85, by the way it’s my daily driver. Within the last 8 weeks I’ve replaced the fuel pump twice and I think the pump I just put in is exhibiting the same pre failure symptoms. It’s an intake pump in a return less system. I’d ultimately like to add some more performance adders such as forced induction but obviously need to get this issue resolved first. I’ve been looking at retro fitting an after market in tank pump and filter do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Can you tell me more about your current set-up? What pump are you currently using, what size fuel line/hose? what pressure does your system need? When you say returnless, you have no regulator what so ever (in tank or external)? Are you using Pulse width modulation? Thx J
HolleyPerformance,
Thanks for the quick response!
It’s the factory configuration currently, in tank pump, regulator, filter unit, 3/8” supply line. It does have the factory charcoal canister and evap solenoid but no return, Im not opposed to installing a return depending on the feasibility/cost. I believe it should be running at 70-75psi under load and 60-65psi at idle. I’m still getting familiar with the operating system and have a custom tune but I do believe it uses pulse with modulation.
SO it's a factory in tank fuel pump??? If so, I would check with your GM dealer and make sure that the replacement unit you are using is in fact compatible with E-85 fuel! J
HolleyPerformance,
Yes and yes, why do you ask?
To clarify, it’s a flex fuel vehicle/pump. E85, I’m not so sure.
YOu didn't address noise.
Noise level depends on the pump mounting location, what isolation mounts are used, vehicle sound deadening, etc. Too many variables to cover! J
really good video.
I have a question, what if I need a fuel pump ASAP for my stock engine, just to get it running, but plan on increasing horse power next year? should I buy a pump for the horsepower it has at the moment and upgrade later? or can a stock 125hp engine run with an oversized pump for 200hp and have no problems?
That's a bit of a tricky question. A lot of it depends on the type of pump used and how much of an increase in horsepower you plan to do in the future. Most pumps should be able to handle under-performing when used with a quality return style regulator and adequate return line. But remember that if you restrict a larger fuel pump you will create more heat and over time it can cause damage or even failure. There are plenty of budget minded pumps available today that would supply your stock engine. Why not use one of these now and save your money till you know exactly what you will need for the upgraded engine! thx J
My husband installed a Holly electric fuel pump on our '70 Nova. The thing sounds like the car is ready to fall apart. Sometimes, it's quiet, and sometimes it super loud. It seems to be getting progressively worse. We haven't figured out a pattern as to why this is happening. Does anyone know why it sporadically sounds loud, and what can be done about it? My husband's tightened it to where it isn't rattling, so it's not that. It is mounted in back by the fuel tank. Thank you.
What part number is the pump?
I don't know. It's a Holly electric fuel pump putting out between 4 and 7 psi. The carburetor we use calls for about 5 to 5 1/2 psi. We filled the tank yesterday and the noise stopped. For now. The gas tank still had about 6 gallons of fuel in it. Hubby figured it might have gotten low enough that the fuel pump was sucking air. We're hoping that's what it is. Like I said, for now it's quiet. Thank goodness. :-)
There are several factors that are crucial when using an electric fuel pump. First the pump needs to be mounted as close to the tank as possible (elec pumps are better at pushing fuel than sucking fuel). The pump also needs to be positioned as low or lower than the lowest possible level that the fuel will be in the tank! Since it sounds like you are using the stock fuel pickup (correct me if i'm wrong) in the tank, it's a good idea to drop the tank and pull the pickup assembly out for inspection. 48 years can change a lot of things. The pick up could have been damaged from previous installations or even have pin holes causing fuel aeration or completely rusted off, reducing its ability to pick up fuel as low as it should be able to in the tank. replacements are inexpensive and can be found at most auto parts stores or online. thx J
Thank you so much, J, for taking the time to respond. I've passed on this information to my hubby.
