edinmass Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Just got a new toy in, and it has this new to me fuel pump. Looks high end, but have never seen one. Anyone have an idea to manufacturer? Thanks, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yachtflame Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Ed…an electric fuel pump? Really??? I can probably find a dozen quotes from you on this forum over the years expounding the horrors of using an electric fuel pump. I’m wondering if early onset of dementia has begun it’s journey taking the place of The Crown! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 It appears to be a DELCO rotary pump. Solenoid (thumper) pumps have the bad reputation for going bad when you are only halfway home. Rotary pumps are much more reliable and can be very helpful in hard starting cars and with overcoming vapor lock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hook Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Please, for your sake and everyone else's install an inertia switch in line with the pump. It's a small price of insurance that will stop that pump in a collision and help prevent a hot time for everyone!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I only run electric as a boost in the event of heat soak and an empty carb. On the Model J's we run them stock........with a battery kill switch by the shifter on the floor .

That's good, but what if something happens that prevents you from being able to operate the kill switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can not take all risk out of life........... It's not the individual that disregards safety or risks his life or equipment by a careless or stupid act that is the problem. It's the innocent people that he endangers and causes harm to. An inertia switch is not like seat belts, or crash helmets that the failure to use only has to do with the individual.

edinmass Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Interesting that in the 1930’s Model J Duesenbergs had four, count them four electric fuel pumps from the factory without any inertia cut off switch. I guess their engineering was poor? It also had a single mechanical pump. What about the pressurized gas tanks of 1908-1924? Is it irresponsible to drive one of them? Thousands are still on the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
