Title: Fuel Pump Noise
Post by: Powerdriver1958 on August 25, 2013, 02:54:39 pm

I saw a comment in another thread about using a Summit or Holley electric fuel pump . rather than muddy up another persons thread I thought starting another would be best .

A while back I used a late model 350 that did not have a place for a mechanical fuel pump and a fine gentleman sent me a pump like this straight from Summit .

It worked really well . Run it for a year before the 350 broke a piston . Only drawback was the pump noise . I mounted it solid to the frame just after the tank switch .

I took a vid of the noise with the truck running at an idle . Maybe this will help someone decide if the noise is too much for them

Wow you can hear it over the engine.  Was it new when you got it?

There has to be something wrong with it. I wouldn't think they would make it that loud on purpose.  Unless they planed it. Hey what's that noise, oh its nothing but my summit fuel pump. Free advertisement lol
