Hello everyone...
I added some components to allow my truck to run on used vegetable oil (if you're not familiar, it's not important) and in the process, I had to add an additional lisft pump for the veg oil. People recommended a HOlley Blue but it just plain did not work. It's vein style pump and is NOT strong enough to pull it through the lines. I recently purchased a new pump... It does about 1.8GPM @ a max of 50PSI. My question is, even though the fuel pressure is MAX 50, as long as the return line from the fuel injector pump has some place to go, will the high PSI make a difference? will it even build that kind of pressure @ 1.8GPM?
Another question would be, is the return line of the IP passive so to speak so you could pump RIGHT THROUGH IT and the IP would take what it needs from fuel as it flows THROUGH it?
I hope I explained this clearly enough, It's late, I need sleep but still need to know the answers to this critical question(s) before I put this pump in Saturday.
Thanks, Scott.
