I bought the Holley Red pump rated for 7 psi for my sbc 350 with a Holley 4150 650 CFM. Had the issue where the pump would keep pumping fuel all the way through the carb and flood it. Sound like some a deadhead regulator could handle or should I be safe and run a return line?

I bought a Holley bypass regulator. If the pressure is reduced on the “OUT” side of the regulator, and it’s connected AFTER the carb, how is the pressure reduced at the carb if regulator is after carb??
@davelowets3 жыл бұрын
If you were to uncap your fuel line coming from the pump, and let if flow into a bucket, you would have ZERO fuel pressure in the line. There is no restriction, hence no pressure. The regulator after the carb creates an obstruction in the fuel circuit, just enough to set the pressure at 6psi, or whatever you have it set to, and the rest of the pressure that is over 6psi or whatever you have the regulator set to goes through the regulator and goes back to the tank. The bypass reg simply creates enough of a restriction to allow 6psi to build in the line, and lets the rest escape to the tank

I am definitely not an expert but I assume it is because it's a complete circuit. The resistance to flow at any point limits the entire system.

Mallory 29387. Expensive is the right way on something like a regulator. The cheap ones don't last. The Holley electric pumps boil the fuel and don't last like the factory electric. Mechanical pump not needed.

Hi, I would like to replace the original low pressure vacuum fuel pump for an in-line electric fuel pump on my outboard in order to deliver fuel from the tank to the high-pressure pump-evaporator, which fuel pressure regulator could be used between my fuel tank and my high-pressure pump-evaporator? The low pressure pump must operate between 2 and 4 psi of pressure. This will eliminate prime the fuel manually and avoid to buy an expensive low pressure vacuum fuel pump OE replacement part.

A bypass regulator doesn't heat the fuel as much as a deadhead regulator does also. With a deadhead, the pump is constantly pressing all of it's output psi against the fuel that is backed up against the regulator, and the fuel is getting hotter. With a bypass regulator, the pump is only working against the 6psi or whatever you have the regulator set to, and the rest of the fuel is sent back to the tank to cool off. Cool fuel=more power, and less detonation issues.

@tumdeax4 жыл бұрын
You have to remember that fuel is a liquid that is incompressible (hydraulic). Therefore using a regulator that is set at say 12 psi max after the carb would mean that even the fuel log pressure will be the same pressure regardless. The best way to let the know the fuel pressure is to use a dash mounted fuel pressure gauge.
@davelowets3 жыл бұрын
A wide open fuel line would have ZERO pressure when flowing into a bucket. Put a 6psi restriction anywhere in the line, and the pressure will be 6psi everywhere in the line. The regulator after the carb holds the pressure at 6psi, and lets the rest of the fuel flow, that would cause a higher pressure, back to the tank. Think of a return system as an organised leak, that self adjusts to limit the pressure to a preset limit. If your garden hose attached to a lawn sprinkler is holding 30psi of water pressure, and suddenly a pinhole appears, the pressure in the hose everywhere will be lower because of the water leaking out of the pinhole. Your carb would be at the end of the garden hose, and the "pinhole" in the hose is the return line that goes back to your tank. The regulator would be the pinhole that automatically adjusts the size of the pinhole to keep the pressure constant with regards to flow.

Car manufacturers have switched to returnless because the pumps direct output pressure is now controlled by the ECU. No need for a return anymore.
