RE: [Chrysler300] Re: AUXILLARY FUEL PUMP

[Ryan Hill <ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One important thing to remember when running an auxiliary electric pump like this. If the electric pump is left running and your mechanical pump fails, you could potentially fill your engine with fuel. (If the diaphragm fails, it will leak internally) The damage can be catastrophic! Also, in the past, some have mentioned the convenience of having a second pumping source to limp home on in the event their mechanical pump fails......this should only be done after bypassing the mechanical pump for the same reason.
 
Make sure the pump is being shut off, I would set it up with a push button rather than a switch so it's only on when I push it to prime the carb.

I usually run it for a bit until it starts thumping, then start the engine and turn it off.I have forgotten to turn it off and driven quite a ways with it on though.

Does it go inline so that it acts as a boost pump and when off, the mechanical pump just pumps thru it, or is it on all the time & is it capable of providing enough volume of fuel for these thirsty beasts? Any help would be appreciated. Don Nissen
