 Gatortail Fuel Pump Is there any good reason to keep the vacuum operated fuel pump on a gatortail if you are adding an electric ful pump in line? 2 fuel pumps????

Re: Gatortail Fuel Pump Was the fuel just coming out the overflow? My buddy has the same set up as me with the E pump and the vacuum pump and get really good milage. But it sounds like there is no advantage to keeping both pumps in line.

Re: Gatortail Fuel Pump E-pump is a waste of $ most of the time. You're better off fixing you leaking fuel line than adding e-pump.

Re: Gatortail Fuel Pump I installed a larger fuel line to solve my problems and a larger fuel filter and to be honest I think it may have been the carb that was causing the problems. due to ethanol... Adding anything else electronic that can break is just a bad idea imho.
The amount of fuel that that mechanical fuel pump delivers at WOT is probably enough to run a 350 Chevy motor...
