caddy60s Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have a 1947 Chrysler Windsor, my question is--- Does the mechanical fuel pump have a check valve like the more modern cars have? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 It has 2 check valves, one on the inlet and one on the outlet. It wouldn't work otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddy60s Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Thanks Rusty, So, would that prevent the fuel from draining back to the tank? I was on line a while ago about a fuel pump problems & after checking all the areas you mentioned it comes down to the fact that the pump is the culprit. Many thanks for your help, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
