Fuel Pump Noise
« 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

That's a ridiculous amount of noise for a street vehicle!   :o

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

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
