belt drive fuel pump in SS

[Dragsinger]

SSdiv6,

You understate my helper resources :} I have been racing for about 50 years. I completely understand the logistics required.

Hand, I think you are correct. If a racer has not run one, he has no way to understand my liking it.

I began running a belt drive pump about five years ago. And I do like it, trouble free, low fuel pressure at idle, all the pressure you want at high speed.

most likely, I will do an electric pump so I do not run the risk of tech folks not liking my choice.

I would at least make the inquiry. I would mount a cell under the hood in a minute if it were allowed using a lesser fuel pump along with a lot less fuel lines, but that was disallowed per previous inquiry.

Hand, it is not a decision to make short term. Especially since the cab and bed are outside and the frame is inside Just gathering info for future consideration.

And I do have a number of new shinny parts to work with before a fuel pump is needed.

Handover fist, merely stating my experienses at the track, most of the tech people are aware that the majority of racers are under the hood for their fuel samples. Now could I have simply gone ahead and taken a sample out of the cell...yes would anyone seeing what I was doing had said any thing IDK. I felt it better to be up front and explain the situation before hand than to try and explain my actions after the fact. BTW they did have one of the tech guys come over and observe me getting the fuel sample, do they do it all the time I don't know I fixed my over sight and went on. The point I'm trying to make is using what is readily available, easily installed with no drawbacks what benefits would there be to utilizing the belt driven pump?

If you still want a fuel cell under the hood, you still have the option of running Pro Mod and be legal!

No pun intended; been in the sport for 45 years. Why just add more work when an electric pump will just do fine and easier.
