belt drive fuel pump in SS

HandOverFist · 11-23-2014, 09:32 PM

Got a drain valve on the proposed fuel cell for the Mustang...guessing that will suffice.

must be equipped with a positive-lock drain valve located between the fuel tank and the carburetor(s) or fuel injection
Question? does that say "On the Tank"? Hummm I wonder if it will be good enough, too

Bob Beal,

the simple answer is "idle the engine and draw a sample" However, it may be more complicated than that.

Or, take the belt off and spin pump with a drill motor

My reason for bring this up, after many rears of racing, from time to time I would have some "problem" with an electric pump.

Yet, after about 5 years of running a BLP belt drive pump not one single glitch. Idles with 2 - 3 pounds and adjust what ever high RPM pressure you want. Use a simple bypass regulator equipped with a small jet to set idle pressure. High RPM pressure is set with the adjuster screw.

from a technical description stand point, a belt drive pump is engine mounted and mechanical.

Unfortunate they will not allow a fuel cell in the engine compartment.

a rear mounted cell is completely acceptable the belt drive pump.

I have a bracket car that runs 5.75 with rear mounted cell and belt driven pump. I also know of others with same setup.

There may be a "g" launch number that becomes an issue.

However, I am specifically speaking of the Super 10 which will run low 10.'s ET
