Ivan_B Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 You can always get a cheap core pump on eBay and get a rebuild kit for it. I have both sitting in the garage, right now, waiting for when I finally get to it 😁 The car is currently running on a later-style mechanical pump with no glass bowl (that's how I got it) and I don't like that Quote

I could see a problem, or two, with that 😐 Perhaps this might be a useful datapoint. My RV aircraft (and several thousand others like it) has a Facet electric cube pump and a mechanical engine pump (AC Delco type, same as on hundreds of thousands of trucks and tractors....) in series and has been flawless since 1999 (but on the second mechanical pump while still on the original electric pump!). The two pumps share the same fuel line very happily, the Facet being between the tanks and engine pump. This is a known and field-proven system. In my opinion, if there are fuel delivery problems with one of our cars that has two pumps in series it is due to some other problem. Edited April 9 by Sam Buchanan 1 Quote
