wow. they make this out to be way harder than it has to be. I really need to make a pump installation video
How do you do it?
@@coleclark5563 wow, 8 years ago - I was 20 when I wrote this
Time Flys huh lol
Thanks for showing this helpful video. You've given me some ideas of how I might be able to use a universal fuel pump for my 15 year old carburetted touring motorcycle to replace the OEM one at 1/5 the cost. Use of a safety pressure switch would mimic the OEM's 4 wire fuel pump while using a 2 wire pump. Again, many thanks.
Any sensor or switch with a single connector completes the ground path through the body of the sensor/switch, putting Teflon tape on the pipe threads may interfere with proper grounding. Tape or no tape this 3 prong switch is isolated and will work, but your oil pressure switch may not.
That was pretty damn good. June 13-2021
This is helpful but what i really need to know how to run the wires
Me too
@@brycepeters6163 I ended up running a 16 gauge wire from the positive terminal of the coil along the frame and grounded the negative right to the frame. I've only run it in the driveway so far but so far so good
do I have to remove the mechanical fuel pump before installing the electric pump?
Brah, this is a commercial, These guys couldn't care less, see the nice replies they posted here in the comments section... Me neither, this is just an ad.
Thanks for the suggestions you have shared here.
hi there, I'm having trouble with my 95 Chevy G30 HD it had the fuel pump mounted near the carburetor. and I just can't get it to run correct. now after watching this video. I assume that's my problem. I'm going to get a new one and install it near the tank!
You also installed a filter in between the tank and your pump, what micron size is recommended? Do you see a downside of having a momentary push button supplying power to the pump. Power would only be present when your finger depresses the switch. This seems easier than the oil pressure switch and wiring described.
How can I install a 6 volt electric fuel pump on my Model T so it works on both Battery and magnito ??
]
i have a 89 nissan d21 pick up and the first time i put gas the fuel pump burnt out on me so i replace it with a used one and it started fine but as soon as i put more gas it went bad again fuel pump
why should the outlet be installed higher than the inlet?
where does the ignition wire go (installation visual part) ?
1976 Plymouth duster slant six v6 I want to swap to electric pump how do I know which one I should go with?? And what else other then safety switch would I need?? Thanks for the info
Good basic info but what about installing filter before the pump? What about location of pump lower than tank or does this no longer matter?
What do you do with the in tank pump, electrical lines and fuel lines for it?
This is more for carb type motors, isn’t it?
I need to know how to install universal pump in a 2lt Ford Sierra.
replacing a mechanical fuel pump on a 350 sb with a 2barrel carburetor, what is the recommended psi's needed on a new electric fuel pump to replace the mechanical fuel pump?...... because the pin got stuck & won't go in or out!
6 psi is regular on a 5.7
My fuel pump is in the tank. Can I leave the defective pump and add this universal pump inline?
EL NinJah,
Did you leave the in tank pump and run the new pump?
Sasquads yes you can do that and it works just fine on 95 percent of pumps
Hi, I am fitting one of your pumps on my old mini. It has been recommended to me that I should mount it on rubber. I see you mounted one straight to sub frame/chassis. Any direction would be appreciated.
I have a holley carb, with a 350 engine.The pump runs, but only intermittedly. Is suppose to run like that....
Is it possible to connect a warning light when there’s no oil pressure? I can’t find any info on a low oil pressure warning light.
Great video Airtex-ASC . I have a question. I have a older GM vehicle and most older GM's the started signal wire is purple and is active when your key is in the farthest forward start position. Is that the wire that I am going to tie into?
I am currently looking at a 1982 pontiac firebird and i was told that it needs a new fuel pump and that the car is not carburetored. I am most certain it is a direct injected V8. Would i use the same process shown here?
Just installed the pump you recommended and it seems it's too much pressure. Hen I disconnect the pump ir runs fine and boggs down on acceleration when I connect it back up. Do you guys have some type of pressure regulator?
Can I installed this pump on a caterpillar 980b loader , from the fuel delivery tank?
I just put in a crate 350. I am needing to switch to an electric fuel pump. I bought the E8012S. Where should I mount the electric pump?
Any body know where is electric fuel pump locate it for nissan pathfinder.please tell me
Hello, I have an unorthodox usage for one of your fuel pumps. It is a e8012s. I would like to know how much wattage/amperage I need to supply to it at 12 volts to continuously operate it.
I intend to use it as a makeshift water pump because I have some hoses, one of these pumps, and some water to move out of my way. Either I'm going to use a battery with a fuse if you let me know the current draw, or I will use a 115vac to 12vdc soandsowattage power supply if you let me know the wattage requirement.
I would much prefer to do the latter.
Do you have to remove the old pump from inside the tank to install one on the outside or will it pull it through the original pump?
Airtex/ASC Performance Pumps
is there no need for a relay with this application?
also, would wiring be the same if i was using an in tank pump on my tbi converted to carb truck?
***** My car sits long periods of time. When I come to start it the fuel has vacuumed back in the fuel line. Therefore, because I run a mechanical pump there is not fuel there to start it and pull fuel. If I install an external pump without a relay and with the oil pressure safety, will the pump still prime when the ignition is keyed? I'm trying to understand how electrical pumps work on carb vehicles if as you said in the video "the pump won't work if engine is not running."
Isn't the Airtex pump louder than the Bosch 69493 for the BMW?
Does anybody know which years of trucks would a OEM Equivelant Fuel Pump fit in too???
I am pretty certain my in tank electric fuel pump is bad. Can I install an exterior electric fuel pump without removing the in tank pump? In other words... Do chevy electric fuel pumps allow fuel flow even if the pump has failed?
Terry Weaver you can pull fuel threw the dead intake pump I know it will work at carbureted fuel pressures but I don’t know at efi pressures. The dead pump might restrict fuel flow but with a decent fuel pump it should work.
Hi, how can I know what voltage the new gas pump should i replace I with?
What is the small cylinder attached to the inlet side of the pump? Is it a fuel filter, pressure regulator, or something else? Thanks!
Was there a wire on the old oil pressure switch ?
I switching a manual pump to electric what do I do with the return line thanks NC
can i use an external pump on a nissan b16 car and what kind of pump can i use
This pump is for carburetors, but 90% of the comments are for obvious in tank or fuel injected cars.
Could you recommend a saftey switch for low engine psi? (15-60ish)?
Thanks again for your help and the video!
Thanks. :) Would I need the switch if I had a fuel pump relay? I've read I only need one or the other. Thanks again for your help.
Question, would this pump work for a Ford Freestar (2006 SE)? At least to get me out of a pinch? I know it is universal, but I just have to ask.
So the oil pressure switch is powering this pump??
if the engine already started the pump is always running?
Wow this video is a vague as it gets as we don't even know what kind of car or truck is shown for wiring
Do you guys have a quiet fuel pump?
My forklift can used that fuel pump?
How do you connect a femo original electric fuel pump
would this pump work for a vw Fusca 1985??
I have a 383 stroker motor I need to put a external fuel pump on, how do I make the hole for the rod to run into the timing chain for the fuel pump to run?
A mechanical pump is not driven off the timing chain. I would suggest using an inline electric pump.
On a 1989 chevy blazer the fuel pump is in the gas tank can you put an external fuel pump on the line somewhere so you don't have to drop the tank will it still do the job
Did you ever figure that out if that worked?
i am working in my project a ford maverick V8 1976, i am installing an electric fuel pump i follow your step but i got a few questions , should i add a relay and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator with gauge, i saw a few othere videos where they did , but i want to know your opinion
***** I would definitely add a Fuel Regulator.
I have 1985 dodge w150 with a 318 auto matic and it has a mechanical fuel pump can i install the electric pump and still keep the mechanical fuel pump or would it be best to remove the mechanical pump
The mechanical pump still does work and i just cleaned the carb and gunna do new fuel lines and clean the tank the truck sat for 7 years and had a lot of dirt in the carb but still . i think that since i replacing all that stuff i might as well do a electric fuel pump . I'm basically asking if the mechanical pump can stay on the block . and i can just use fittings to close it off
How I install Volvo semi truck electronic fuel pump
if i am installing an external universal electric fuel pump on a 94 chevy astro:
1-do i need to take out the old and non working pump from the tank or can it work like this
2-if the line is broken from the filter because it is very old how do i cut the line to replace the filter, since i see fuel dripping from the side of the line coming from the tank
3-does it matter if i relocate the filter, closer to the engine ?
thank you for your help
but if I have to remove the old pump in the tank whats the purpose of an external pump, how ill that help, when the purpose is not to drop the tank, if I have to drop the tank I can just replace the old one, I mean don't you think, but thanks for the respond
+Airtex Pumps I did install it, but in order to get it start I have to spray the fuel injector with quick start, than the car will start, if I let it run and comes back in a few minute it will still start, but if sits over night it wont start unless spray with quick starts
If a switch only has 2 terminals, what is the proper way to wire it? Where does each wire go?
***** - Should not matter, it is a switch. Put in series with pump motor!
Just wondering which in tank pump you would recommend for my cj7 jeep? I am upgrading from my carb system to a GM TBI/fuel injection.. I am only looking at a maximum of 15psi... I have a new MTS 15gal part #0051 plastic tank?
Thanks bunches for your time. :)
I really wish I coud install a in-line fuel pump but it will be really hard as the exhaust runs on the same side of the fuel lines. If I can find/mod a heat shield and figure out where and how to drill holes for the fuel pump/filter then an external might work.. But in the long run it would be easier to install a in tank pump assembly.. --All I have to do is drop the tank (again) install rehook up the lines and wires, make an access panel out of my jeep tub for easy access to the fuel pump then reassemble.
If my idea doesn't work, I will check out your fuel pump. Thanks for your help! :)
Hi, can I fix a land cruiser fuel pump to my chevy blazer 4.3 , and which model of land cruiser can be?
Thanks
*****
i just had Chevrolet blazer 6 cylinders 4.3 CC 1997 SUV .
Shouldn't you use yellow Teflon tape instead?
That white tape is not petroleum rated/safe. Use the yellow type .Those wire crimps are crap, solder and place shrink-wrap over afterwards.
Learn how to wrap thread tape
Will a external fuel pump work on a 1995 jeep wrangler YJ 2.5L 4cyl??? I needed to replace my fuel pump this week and wanted to see if anyone else done the same thing or not! Wouldnt have to drop the tank if it does works!
The mechanics game plan is to install a external fuel pump.....Yes the fuel pump is running but here is my problem! The fuel pressure is fluctuating from 20 to 40....or 15 to 35 back & forth, all over the place! In turn the 1995 jeep is driving like sh**.....Its using twice as much fuel, its getting 9 mpg when it was getting 15 mpg! Its hesitating/bucking during acceleration, up hills and it seems like its just getting worse as time goes on & you can see wetness around the outside edge of the throttle body like its getting too much fuel like maybe its not burning......Its been 7 mths now that i been tackling this issue! I have changed out the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, TPS, checked MAP ok, checked IAC ok, checked fuel regulator ok, fuel filter, fuel injectors! Now we are gonna tie in the external pump so that it will come on at the same time just like the internal fuel pump....If it fixes the problem then we know its the problem. Im not a mechanic, i just know basics....My mechanic has been doing this his whole life, i say over 40 yrs but not much experience with jeep wranglers is the problem cause we are both scratching are heads now! Im hoping this does the trick but im still wondering if im still gonna have issues down the road...The external pump is $60 & labor is $40...$100 total to see if it works....If it doesnt then its just $40! He is affraid that if you try and take the internal fuel pump out that you will bust off the bolts that needs removed to get to the fuel tank...He states that it will be costly for me in labor if they run into problems.....I can see this but you just never know unless you try is how im thinking BUT thats where im at! Hope this helps! I will write your number down, right now im headed to try out this external fuel pump!...Fingers are crossed but like i said....My thoughts is im gonna be tackling this issue down the road it feels like even if it fixes the issue! Just one of these problems that will not go away & there is No check engine light telling you what the problem might be! TTYL
P.S.- Is the fuel pressure suppose to be steady at its spec pressure or atleast within 5 lbs give or take (fluctuating)?????
That was quick..lol ....Thank you....I didnt think so!....Since this issue has been so long my brain is fried & hands in the air!....One of them situations! So im all ears at this point!...Right now i dont see anything else except fuel pump or pointing the finger at the throttle body itself!...Gonna tackle this external pump & if it works i will keep it on but eventually the internal will have to come out im affraid! I just feel its either now or later.....The mechanic thinks if this fixes it that it will be cheaper on the wallet which is true!...So again my hands are up in the air so what can ya do!....TTYL
Got a question....Maybe you might know or maybe not, just throwing it out there!....Awhile back i had a gas line break right behind the rear drivers side tire.....When you look up in this area it looks like a major hose hwy if ya know what im talking about!.....I dont know if this has anything to do with my issue or not cause like i mentioned....Im thinking all over at this point....My mechanic had replaced that line loop with a rubber fuel line.....But this was 4 yrs ago....During the 4 yrs the screw clamps holding it together has sprung a leak twice but both times just re-tightened the clamps and it was fixed! Im wondering if this needs to be fixed with original parts but we wondered if ya could even find the part since its like a kaotic junction of fuel lines in this area im talking about! Like i mentioned im trying to cover all avenues at this point!.....Thank you!
If there is no oil pressure when the engine is off. And the fuel pump will not pump until the switch see’s oil pressure. How do you start the engine with no fuel delivery?
pray.
If it is a mechanical oil pump on the engine, then when the battery turns the engine over in starting, it creates fuel pressure.
What fuel pump do you recommend for an 87 chevy stepside with a 350, 4 barrel carb? My mechanical fuel pump just went out. Would we have to bypass the mechanical fuel pump or just go ahead and put it in line with the mechanical pump still in place?
Thank you. Very helpful and fast response!
@@manuelgunner100did you ever figure that out?
Ok, I have the power from pump and ground to battery hooked up.... exactly where do I run the Terminal S and I? S to starter solenoid wire? I to key powered on fuse?
+Airtex Pumps I understand completely! Thanks a lot for your help! Will give the Tech Hotline if I need further assistance!
+apdabeast15 Typically when I've installed items that required an "I" terminal or power / ignition terminal that would allow something to only run when the ignition is on I have used a fuse port on my fuse box. If you do not have an open fuse port that has 12v + to the open fuse location, typically one can be accessed by purchasing a double fuse port adapter from the parts store. Simply unplug your fuse, plug in the adapter, replace the fuse in the 1st position. Then you can add a separate fuse for the fuel pump at this location through the ignition or "I" terminal by connecting it to the wired output of the fuse port adapter. Just try to use a port that not already filled with a fuse greater than 20 amps as this could cause an overload of the wiring feeding up to the fuses. If the port you jump off of already has a 20 amp or greater rating the possibility of running to much current through one fuse port is possible. Just don't hook it directly to power otherwise the fuel pump will not shut off.
+JudgmentDay78 Thanks a lot! I did get the pump the work with an open fuse port that powers on at ignition on only. Currently running and driving that way. Problem is with the oil pressure safety switch! When hooked in series with the fuel pump..the pump doesn't cut on at all. When I unhook the switch and run the fuel to ignition on and ground...it runs fine! Not sure if location of the switch has anything to do with it or with it being the the 1st time getting it to run, maybe the psi for the oil wasn't yet high enough! I the process of swapping radiator and adding electric fans...will hook the switch back up since the engine has now been running long enough to build up pressure.

how to install one in my 1996 winnebagel sun cruise
Latangela Wilson, Installing a universal pump on your vehicle will not be any different than shown here. You will need to remove the in tank pump and replace it with a section of hose. It is most likely the in tank pump will not allow fuel to be pulled through it.
I want to install one of these pumps as a booster pump. My CJ7 is not run for months and needs a short boost to pump the fuel to the carb prior to starting. Do I install the electric pump prior or after the mechanical pump?
John Godwin o
I don't think it would really matter considering electrical chokes on carbs our after it
Why no relay ?
Whats with the gloves?
my question is, 2003 ford explorer V-6, automatic, can I install an aftermarket electric pump in place of stock? ( Externally) ?
Yes, you can install an externally mounted pump. But first, you will need to remove the in-tank pump. The original in-tank pump will not allow fuel to be pulled through it.
Kinda sloppy on that install. No protection on the cramp terminals so they don't develop bad connections and needs a proper sealant not junk teflon tape. Teflon tape is for beginners.
You mean crimp terminals. Cramps are what happen to muscles. Teflon tape is used by many professionals. Teflon®* PTFE is designed to work with gasoline, leaded or unleaded.
whats causing this
Wat
I wonder if when you stop making commercials if you will learn to use thread sealer (Permatex Thread sealant) instead of my plumbers Teflon tape. That's pretty ghetto teflon tape, you might as well use some duct tape and super glue to fix a transmission issue too Huh? Check engine light... Get some Tape! Ghettoshop Proven!
Don't get any fuel on the ground or I will tell Greta.
what a rust one this car usa cars sucks
Is there a low pressure in tank pump for a carbureted 5.3 swap?
