Re: Which electric fuel pumps are you folks using?

Well, I can get the Facet pumps all day too.....and the pressure is too high, from past experience on 'mogs, and other Weber carbs. I've gone down that road before, and I'd rather not do it again...probably still have an old cube pump or two hanging around somewhere lol.
As to the area - even the "specialized" guys that are out here, aren't that specialized any more. Many of the old timers are gone and retired, and the newer guys are re-learning things the old timers had found out. I have a place locally called VW Paradise - highly regarded, have been building race, show, street for decades....and I had to show them that Facet does do lower psi pumps, and to boot they've never heard of Huco pumps. So much for the "specialists". When you get down to it, the folks on this board and the other boards that deal with Euro MV's probably know more, do more, and can fix more than 99% of the automotive enthusiasts out there.
Now - Jim mentioned that the Swiss trucks often have these electric pumps on them, I was just glancing through the Swiss parts book and lo and behold, there's the danged pump illustrated right there LOL.
