Lift pump for higher hp (750+) trucks what fuel system are you guys running?

[Righteyeblind]

Ok! I will tell you the truth...... I have had my pump on my truck since dec of 2005. Sorry it has been 6 years and 7 months.......


Are you implying that I am lying? I dont take kindly to that....

Sorry... What I am saying is you always claim to have the best PPE suff which you should. But it steers people the wrong way when you tell them to buy it when the amount of failures is rediculous in PPE pumps and they're obnoxious.

At what point did I tell anyone to buy our pump? The O.P. asked what pumps everyone was running and I thought I would share my results (that is why we are all here right?)

How am I steering someone wrong? We have sold THOUSANDS of those pumps and have had less than 100 failures (almost all of them covered by warranty, sometimes they were covered even when out of warranty). This includes all the V1 pumps that had some issues (mine is a V1). If the pumps were junk we would not be selling them as it would not be a very smart business plan....:thumb:

The one to the front of the tank is the supply and the one to the back is the return right? Maybe tommorrow i'll get a chance to craw under my truck and look at it again. I can't remember what was on the middle nipple? Soooooooo anyone know what the middle hose should be on a lb7 sending unit?

??

Since I was already looking in the rule book already, I figured I would copy/paste this over here to make sure I wasn't giving incomplete or inaccurate info. This is a general guideline that applies to all vehicles running on an NHRA track regardless of ET or MPH. While most tech officials will most likely not check it, it is something to keep in mind.

Lines: All non-OEM fuel lines (including gauge and/or data recorder lines) must be metallic, steel braided, or NHRA-accepted “woven or woven-pushlock.” A maximum of 12 inches total (front to rear) of non-metallic or non-steel braided hose is permitted for connection purposes only; individual injector nozzle and motorcycle fuel lines are excluded. Fuel lines (except steel braided lines) in the
flywheel/bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16-inch length of steel tubing, 1/8-inch-minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as a protection against fuel-line rupture. Fuel lines may not be routed in the driveshaft tunnel. It is mandatory that fuel lines passing
supercharger drive belts be steel braided, NHRA-accepted woven or woven-pushlock, or be enclosed in protective steel tubing. A current list of NHRA-accepted woven or woven-pushlock fuel lines is available on NHRARacer.com. All NHRA-accepted fuel lines must
use ends that are specifically designed for the type of fuel line being used. No hose clamps allowed on NHRA-accepted fuel lines.

Thanks Ed, Im not counting my chickens before they hatch. Not sure if this sumps going to fix my problem or not but i probly should have it on my big tank anyways and rule out the stock sending unit!

 

[Harbin_22]

Where did you put the sump? I have been kicking around the idea and not really sure where the best spot is

 

[ecc_33]

right in the middle under the sump and it didn't fix my problem Im done throwing darts.

 

[Burn Down]

Thinking outside the box here... What condition are your injectors in? Maybe a return test? My thought is at full throttle, between the injection requirements & the return rates the lift pump isn't able to keep up. Just a guess anyways.

Boost referenced regulator? You would have to go with a different pump though. Like I said earlier my FASS 260 would not keep up without the boost hooked to it. I have 5/8 ID feed line all the way to a junction block and then 3/8 ID to each pump.
It sucks cause you can only run so much PSI at stock so you need to be able to raise it at WOT.
