Electric fuel pump - Grant - 12-05-2019
Does anyone have any thoughts/ recommendations on an electric fuel pump to use?
I've had my engine rebuilt to 1330 with a high torque cam, will be using an HIF44 carb - car will be for road and occasional track day use. The engine has yet to be fired up.
I was set on going with the Facet Fast Road Solid State pump on Minispares (4.5-5psi/ 18 gallons per hour) (part no ss502) but once I started googling it seems this might be too high pressure and i might be better off with the "standard" facet (2.5-3psi/ 12 gallons per hour)(part number SS501).
Has anyone had any success with any of the locally available elec fuel pumps that they would recommend?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Grant
I have installed that FACET fuel pump on maybe 7 of my own personal minis and about 30 on customer cars so far.
It works great and you will have good service out of the pump.
I usually take the wire that is blue with the yellow tracer (meant for the rear window de-mister), and use it to power the pump with the needed leads etc to fusebox and pump on the other side.
