a friend suggested I put an electric fuel pump on my car. are they easy to install? do they work better?
Nice thing about the electric pump and regulator is you can set the pressure. Bad thing about an electric pump is if you have a street car, and something happens on the road, you may not be able to find replacement parts easily.
it won't necessarily be "better". If your mechanical pump is pumping enough fuel to supply your engine...I'd keep it. Like Don said...if something happens...most auto parts houses have a stock fuel pump on hand. If I didn't need more volume for mine...I'd still run the mechanical...but I hate the noise from the electric myself.
The only advantage i see is that you wont get vapor lock from an electric one. But i wouldnt dare run one on a street car without an external regulator or inertia switch. Its a safety hazard.
