After an expensive engine rebuild and tune up I was still having troublestarting the car after it sat for a while. Research indicated I should install an in-line electric fuel pump that I could turn on when needed and allow the mechanical pump to flow through when the motor was running. After consulting the club's web site I ordered a pump from John Lazenby on his recommendation. The pump is an in line Facet Purolator. |
|
I chose a location forward of the fuel tank in relation to the stock fuel line |
|
The trunk had a brace here so the screws securing the pump will not protrude the trunk floor. |
|
Mounting location was chosen and holes marked and drilled. Then area was primed. |
|
The pump was assembled using an inline filter and adapter elbow. The wiring connector selected was stock MOPAR |
|
The wire for power feed (white with red) was run through the same grommet as the fuel gauge wire though the trunk floor and connected to the rear defogger feed. I will install another switch later when I remove the back seat. For now I wanted to get the pump functional. |
|
The pump fitted to the tank line using new hose and clamps. |
|
Installed and wired up In line Pump. |
|
Full view, all wired up, you can't see the hot lead into the trunk in this photo. |
|
For starting with the ignition in the on position to start, I turn on the defogger switch and allow the pump to run until the car starts. No more long cranking and the car fires right up. |
