cquisuila Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 hello I put a pear as picture to facilitate the transfer of fuel from the tank to carburetor and not to use the starter but can i leave it permanently ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Is that from an outboard motor auxiliary fuel tank or similar? I would be concerned about HEAT and ethanol deterioration of the rubber involved. Better to use a small pressure/capacity electric fuel pump remote from the engine, usually.

60FlatTop Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I wouldn't trust it over the long term. Why did you ask? I find that when a person feels comfortable with something they don't ask. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 An auxiliary electric fuel pump will not “tire” the battery. It takes a lot more battery to turn a starter on an engine than to run an electric pump. Grind the starter from some time or energize an electric pump. Who wants to jump out, open the hood, squeeze a ball a couple of times, then jump back in and hope the engine starts. Your car is a 1966. Since it was new 57 years ago it’s not needed an auxiliary pump. If you choke is set properly, and your car is in good tune, you’ll have no problems. But you will if that bulb burst and catches your car on fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I don't have an electric fuel pump on my '67 Riviera. When the car sits unused for a few days it takes about 30 seconds of cranking to get fuel to the carburetor. That also allows the oil pump to build pressure. I crank the starter for 10 ~15 seconds at a time with a brief rest in between until it starts. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
