Is it wise to situate this in the engine bay or not? it would look the part, but is it just another added danger? Or now i have the barricade fuel lines this will not matter? I have a firetec in there anyway, but lets not rely on that alone eh.
I have one one, bought 30 years ago and never fitted it. The fuel pump delivers a certain amount of fuel, and the float chamber valve is designed to cope with it. Probably a waste of time.
After many thousands of motorway miles I've found a bit of the m6 that's uphill for about 5 miles. When I go up it at 70, after 3 or 4 miles I run out of petrol in one carb (cht plummets one side) until I slow down to 65. Pretty sure that's what it is so I turned it up from 2.5 to 3 psi this afternoon.
Mine used to do this at 2.5 Steve now 3.5 not done it since M5 on way back from Bristol mine was twice it managed snowdonia and the highlands ok
3psi looks favourite, the idea is to have it as low as possible to prevent the float being overcome, but high enough not to run dry up a long hill at full tilt. Rolling road is great for this, but another expense so I guessed. The guess was good until I hit a really long fast hill. I have the bigger filter which came with a gauge you can temporarily fit to set the pressure.
Yeah I think I have ordered the same. 85mm or something with the sytec gauge. I will try it at 3 and keep the tools in the van to adjust it on the fly then.
I have an electric pump that's supposed to throw out 3.5 I have a pair of 34 icts ( which I haven't fitted yet) will this pump be ok or should I buy a regulator so I can adjust the flow?
Has anyone left their gauge on the filter? Just wondering, as i read somewhere that it should be removed once the PSI has been set to a resting figure people are happy with. @zedders what have you done?
It will work spot on. Ours has the 3.5 psi electric pump fitted but the Rolling Road guy turned the pressure regulator down to 2.5 psi. ICT's respond best at 3.5 psi
