Advice for a quiet electric carb fuel pump
As spring comes in and the snow melts, the 347 awakens. The engine was started yesterday, and everything looks good.
As a refinement for this season I thought I'd make the fuel pump a bit more quiet by installing a piece of hose between the pump and the aluminium line that runs the lenght inside the car. Although it sounded promising when the pump was run dry, the enourmous whining and grinding came back as soon as fuel was poured into the tenk once more....
The pump is a Summit 130 gph "racing" unit.
And to be honest, it makes alot of noice. - OK; no sound of it as soon as the throttle is "halfway there and beyond"- but a pain in the ass when in traffic. (Anyone else has the same experience?)
Any reasonably priced less noisy pumps you'd like to suggest?
( The engine sports 4 x IDF's and I use an Aeromotive adjustable regulator with a 1/2" return line, 3/8" supply.)
Happy Springtime
