    Fuelab frustration's!!!

    Send me an address via PM, and I'll drop a spring in the mail on my way home. Something to keep in mind is that you generally get better results when you approach things in a mature/professional manner. Making random threats (not physical, obviously) via email, when you're not getting the...

    Fuelab frustration's!!!

    That's not at all how this is going. We aren't selling anything direct. I never said that I couldn't sell him a spring, but I could sell him a regulator. I was simply passing on information about how the fuel system works. We cannot be held responsible for how any of the companies that sell our...

    Fuelab frustration's!!!

    Fair enough. One thing worth noting when you do the install is that you'll want to remove the 8psi spring that's currently in your pump and replace it with a much heavier spring. Our add-on regulators come with a replacement lockout spring to do this. If you just try to put a regulator after...

    Fuelab frustration's!!!

    This thread is heading down a slippery slope. We (Fuelab) do not get into arguments via forums/social media- it's simply not professional on our part. I ran across this thread while doing my usual forum search, and I felt compelled to at least state our side of the story before signing off and...

    Fuelab frustration's!!!

    I'm sorry, but we don't sell anything direct. Repairs (warranty and non-warranty) are the only things that we deal directly with the customer. As I mentioned before, this is not a part that a dealer would usually need to have access to. When the correct pump is purchased for the application, the...

    Fuelab frustration's!!!

    That is not a part that is on anyone's price sheet. The spring you are looking for is not a "repair" or "replacement" part. That is application specific part. Dealers will generally stock the application specific pumps, not the internal parts that define how a pump will operate. We did provide...

    Fuelab lift pumps

    I can't seem to remember what forum I read it, but I *think* I remember someone that found a Cat crossover that was 2 micron. If I run across it, I'll post the link and/or part number.

    Fuelab lift pumps

    The 100gph is good for up to around 500hp. The 200gph is good for around 1000hp as-is and up to around 1800hp-2000hp with the add-on regulator. Our flow ratings are at pressure, not free-flow. They are also a bit on the modest side- most flow around 5-10% more than advertised. Each pump comes...

    Fuelab lift pumps

    Unlike a brushed motor, our pumps have very few wear items. Motor failures are the main thing you hear about when it comes to lift pump problems. Usually, that's due to the brushes wearing out/failing or the shaft seal that separates the motor from the pump will fail. We have no brushes to wear...

    You need to have some kind of a pre-filter before the pump. If it's a small filter like the one that's included in the kit, it needs to be something between a 100-60 micron element- something that will protect the pump but not restrict the inlet.

    Fuelab lift pumps

    Sorry- forgot all about that. There's a lot of schools of thought there. You "correct" way to do it would be to monitor pressure drop across the filter. That's not all that feasible for most people. Personally, I would swap it when I did the post filter change as well. A sure-fire sign though...

    The draw straw is 1/2". You have to run the draw straw with the 200gph system. Without it, you risk cavitation damage to the pump, even at reduced speed. The air separation unit is not a wear item- it will last as long or longer than the pump itself.

    Fuelab lift pumps

    The filters we include should be sufficient. There's a small in-line strainer filter before the pump and a Baldwin BF1212 after the pump. If you previously had an aftermarket lift pump, one of the switch out install kits is all you really would have needed. Then again, you would have needed...

    Fuelab lift pumps

    A toggle to remove the ground is what a lot of the street/strip or street/sled guys do. You may or may not need it, but short runs of extra fuel isn't going to hurt anything. In the case of the drag strip or pulling a sled, it's better to have and not need than need and not have.

    Fuelab lift pumps

    When the 200gph systems were first released, low speed was 50%. We've since changed that to 40%. I don't remember the exact date off hand, but it was quite a while ago. If the truck is streetable, low speed is plenty of fuel. The 100gph kits are single speed. Something to keep in mind is that...
