Re: [Chrysler300] Electric Fuel Pump

That could be interesting with the connection on the power antenna. I run my rear defroster for about 10 seconds, sometime a bit more. I could see the antenna having to go up and down a few times. Past that, 

if you ever needed the electric pump to limp home on you'd have to running the antenna constantly. 

I think I'd run a separate wire on your car. 



I think Ryan mentions this...if someone had a mechanical pump failure using the electric pump 

could fill the crankcase with gas. You need to carry a piece of rubber fuel hose, clamps and a zip tie 

or two to bypass the mechanical pump.

Hi All, 
Thanks for all the great advice. 
I have a convertible, so I am thinking of running the elec. fuel pump on the same circuit as my rear power antenna switch. 
This would be similiar to running it on the same circuit as the rear defroster? 
Thanks,

Follow everything that Mark Souders said. The pumps are heat sensitive 

so they do better back near the tank. Another plus, you can't see it. 



Club member John Lazenby sells this type of pump, john@xxxxxxxxx . 



Thr right pump is a simple little square thing. It puts out maybe 2-3 psi of 

fuel. No more than that or it can overload the carb. I've been using one for years 

on my 300C. Its connected to the factory rear window defroster...same deal as 

a switch, run the defroster for 10 seconds and instant start. 



There is another type of electric pump (a generalization, a bigger round one) that will 

not allow fuel to be drawn through from the mechanical pump. Then it doesn't do what we 

want. I had a Carter brand like this that would not work.

Hello, 

I would appreciate any suggestions for a good electric fuel pump for a 3256SA Carter AFB. 
After the fuel pump is installed, is it common for the push rod to be removed from the stock pump? 
I am still having to crank the engine a lot to get fuel to the carb on cold starts. 

I believe the best place to mount an electric fuel pump is near the rear axle? 
Any other suggestions? 

Thanks,
