Carter Lift Pump???
Has anyone compared the Carter lift pumps that summit racing and Jegs sells?
Looking at the specs on the 4601HP CRT-P4601HP, it looks like it would be suitable for use for our injection pumps. Specs say it free flows 100 gallons per hour and the maximum pressure possible is 18 psi.

These universal rotary vane electric fuel pumps from Carter operate using leaded and unleaded gasoline, gasohol, and fuel boosters. They have an internal pressure regulating valve, and feature free-flow fuel delivery. These pumps have no points to burn out, and no shaft seals to leak or deteriorate. Easy to install, these universal fuel pumps come with a complete installation package and instructions.
The many threads I read on lift pumps/Preperator/FASS/K-O pumps suggest fuel pressures need to be in the mid to high teens but, not sure about volume (gpm/gph) of flow.
I believe that generally, volume goes up as pressure goes down, and volume goes down as pressure goes up... like modulating your finger over the end of a running water hose, correct?
So, determining what minimum/maximum volume (gpm/gph flow rate), and the minimum/maximum line pressure, the VP injector pump is happy with is the trick.
These pumps are priced around a hundred dollars ad look physically like the factory ones. Has anyone tried these?
