Watch how we wired up this electric fuel pump here - How To Wire Electric Fuel Pump With A Switch | The Meano Camino
ua-cam.com/video/4KAlbpf4rCk/v-deo.html
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the pump should be at least a foot from the gas tank. If not, it burns out, trying to pull fuel for the length of the vehicle.
You are 100% correct - we were a little lazy and didn’t want to drain the fuel and cut the line way back at the end of the vehicle - just wanted to get it running the easiest way possible.
@theroygarage you should say that in your video, extremely misleading
I was thinking the exact same thing.
But how theu don't over fill the carburetor on idling? They are on all the time without the ecu can someone explain before i do the conversation
@@sjjvddyumiherhv3709 I know it's late, but every carburetor has check valves through the idle circuit. That's why there is a max of 6.5 psi on most carbs. For instance, on an Edelbrock carb, the needle and seat hold back the fuel to whatever amount you set for idle. Too much pressure will just blow past this mechanical valve and flood the engine.
Too bad you didn't read the instructions ! You would have found out that the fuel pump should be located as close to the gas tank as possible !!!!
Totally read the directions and knew that but wanted to do this anyways 😁 left that part out of the video where we explained that
Why would it matter?
@@Fordgroup00 these pumps are not to good at pulling fuel, they burn out easier
@@magicvlogz9879
Ah, ok thanks for the info
Yup I burned mine out doing that
a mix of car and pick upp .-.dam those crtazy times
Should also install an inertia switch. At impact it will shut off automatically. So you don't burn up !
Genius!
Thank you for this tip! Just ordered one. Never heard of it before 🙏
@@kenziedelatorre Back in the mid eighties. I bet my friends I could shut their car off with just a kick. On the Ford Mustang they're located Lower Passenger side. 1st couple of times they were amazed.
Im considering doing this just to hear my car run then relocating it nice to know what could be done to get ya home at least.
Those pumps are push type of pumps suction is created by pushing fuel away from the pump. If it not near the fuel tank it will burn it self out quickly
Question , Im having problems again with my edelbrock fuel pump , you had ur buddy hold the red wire on the battery , where would u put that wire at ? My pump continues to turn on without the key turned all the way
We connect ours to a switch so it would only turn on when we flip the switch. The other option is to get a fuse tap that plugs into your fuse box that only turns on when the ignition is turned on.
This video shows us wiring it in - ua-cam.com/video/4KAlbpf4rCk/v-deo.htmlsi=aW4gue9xDT9uvYJe
In this video is shows the how to setup the fuse tap at 7 minute in - ua-cam.com/video/25klv8DKggA/v-deo.htmlsi=EKif_5c4uE8dAQ10
Just clicked on this with the same issue with my 85 el camino but thinking how to run the wires where the fuel pump only comes on when key is on not to the battery?
Have you watched our video on how we wired up the electric fuel pump?
ua-cam.com/video/4KAlbpf4rCk/v-deo.html
We used a relay kit and a switch. You can find the relay linked in the description. I didn’t want to take apart the steering column to get to the ignition and that is why we used a switch.
And as far as turn key - instead of connecting a switch - you need to find a power source. We took power right from the breaker we installed. Then wire it up to your ignition and back to your relay.
You should be able to find a video out there that shows how to wire fuel pump up to ignition too. If you have not used those search terms yet. I will look too quick.
Let me know if this helps lol
Should be able to wire it to the accessories on your key ignition switch with the relay kit.
@@theroygarage don't do that. You want it wired to KEY-ON, not ACC. If it's on ACC it will run while to car's off but the key turned back to the ACC position, like when you're sitting there listening to the radio waiting for your pal to come out of the liquor store.
@@scottdelaney98 gotcha, my dad got a mini extendable circuit and that worked really well. Find a spot in the fuse box that turns on with the key and plug it in there. Way easier!
amzn.to/3wEA9nr
@scottdelaney98 won't the pump turn off after it reaches the 5 or so psi?
those work.. used one with a mr gasket regulator and they work really good
Nice! Is the regulator for higher pressures?
i like caminos a lot and i dont knoqw why
Boys and Girls never use electric or battery powered tools on anything fuel related inside your garage . NEVER
Never thought of that obviously lol thanks!
Can it work to mistubish chariot gdi. My fuel pressure pump failed
I’m sure it could - just find a spot to splice it in and make sure the operating psi matches
Boom!
🙏🏻
How does the electric pump not flood the carburator with to much gas
It’s a 3-7 PSI pump for v6 or v8 and I believe even the float in the carb gets too a certain level it stops the flow of fuel
@@theroygarage yep, that’s what I was going to say; float in the carburetor puts pressure on the needle and seat and cuts fuel flow off
What They didn’t mention is that you have to install a fuel regulator and a return hose to the tank
Most people don't read the instructions install wrong. Then make a. Video about how the pump sucks and didn't last. I installed on 3 years ago and no problem
Yea most people don’t make a video.
I have seen videos of pumps failing and could see in the video that it was installed wrong and the people in the video were complaining that the pump didn't last
I Installing This Electric Fuel Pump With Return Fuel Line/Regulator... Like An Injection System... I Dont Know If This Is Needed Or Not... Just Worry If The Pressure Is Too High And Can Cause Damaged To My Fuel Pump... Is That Necessary Boss? Or I Can Remove The Return Line And Just Let The Pump Installed Directly To A Caburetor? I Have No Idea Boss... But For Now, The Fuel Supply Is Enough And Does Not Have Any Issue Yet...
😅😅😅
Just so I understand, you’re installing this fuel pump to pump into your fuel regulator that has a return line? You’re concern is if the pump is pumping too hard for the fuel pressure regulator?
@@theroygarage Yes Boss. Thats What I Mean... Is That Necessary? Or I Can Install That Pump Directly Without Having A Regulator? Because When The Caburetor Is Full, The Fuel Will Stop Flowing, But The Pump Will Still Pumping...Will It Damaged The Pump Ya Boss? I Dont Know Too Much About How This Pump Works, I Just Thinking That This Fuel Pump Same As Injection Fuel Pump Only...😅 If It Not Necessary, I Want To Remove That Regulator... So, No Need A Return Line Anymore... Please Help Boss🙏
This fuel pump working is noise or quiet? Can you compare with holley 12-425?
I would say it’s pretty quiet unless I haven’t driven her for a while then you can hear it pulling gas from the tank until the line is full and it gets quiet again. I’ve ever used a Holley 12-425 so I can’t compare…
@@theroygarage thanks for reply, for my old Mercedes w123 carburetor 130ps engine power, do you have any suggection? which type 12s or 42s?! i need a quiet fuel pump
@@kiwi9770 the biggest difference between the two is psi - 42s is 2 to 3.5 psi and the 12s is 4 to 7 psi. With that being said you’re probably good with the 42s but it you are upgrading your engine you maybe want to get the 12s.
Here is a link for the 42s:

Here is a link for the 12s:

If you listen to this without watching the video, does it seem like kermit the frog is working on his car? 😅
😂😂😂 😅🫣
Wrong right from the start! Should be mounted at the back.
You are correct, I thought I had a clip in there explaining that we are not installing this and how you are suppose to but we are just trying to get this thing running so we are mounting it here because it’s the easiest spot for us but I accidentally cut it out of the video 🤷🏼♂️🤣
And would it need a regulator for pressure?
@@mayken6661 nope - says it’s good for 4, 6, and 8 cylinder engines and nothing in the directions about a pressure regulator
Wow this is NOT where to put an e-fuel pump!
Hello, yes we know that 😁 I thought I left the part of the video in there after I say “This is going to be a true test of this fuel pump because it’s suppose to be mounted 12 inches from the fuel tank” but I must have cut it out 🤷🏼♂️ oops
How about the fuel return brother
No need in this set up.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HOOK THE PUMP WITHIN 12 INCHES OF THE FUEL TANK? HMM
That is definitely recommended! Within 12 inches and below the tank.
This video is absolutely useless. People watching how to install an electric fuel pump want to see where you mounted it as close to the tank as possible and how you wired it and ran the wires to it work on getting the El Camino running it won’t be running long with that fuel pump mounted the way it is.
Been running strong the last two years. And I thought we added in there that that isn’t where you’re supposed to mount it 🤔 or maybe I accidentally cut at part out
