Electric fuel pump?

[CapperTom]

Hi, was after some advice on electric fuel pumps, i know the little facet square ones sort of tick when there pumping but does this go all the time, also do the cylinder ones still do it? i dont really want a pump thats noisy.

Thanks

Tom

The red tops have a low pitch hum, but you don't really hear it after a while.

 

You could always get a louder exhaust

Your worried about the noise of the pump, Why not place it in the boot? Or insulate it?

mount it on the outside under the boot floor with a shield over it

I have a cylinder type facet and yes the do get a bit knocky from time to time,not sure weather or not this is down to the pump not being able to keep up with the engine ?

i have the same and my pump has no problem at all keeping up with the engine. although it does make a loud buzzing noise.... but when the engine is on... you cant hear it, so no problems

ive seen a solid state pump keeping a 235bhp xe working on 48s with no worrys

had manual pump on my pinto and it was running 130bhp if that, i used to boot it in 3rd for about 10seconds before it effectively "ran out" of petrol, pull over for 30 seconds, let it tick over and she would be fine again!

 

just put the electric one under the car at the back, if you can mount it on a piece of rubber or something so it doesnt vibrate through the floor. you wont even know its there once its running.
