Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) pusher pumps...

I wonder how something like THIS would work... ?

Just as a note - I assume the notation about "not for fuel injection" simply means it's not a high-pressure pump, and the only downside I see with this type pump is, I assume that if IT fails, no fuel at ALL will flow, where vane type pumps WILL usually allow fuel flow if they fail...

Hmmmmmm,

Don't know about that one, It might make an erratic needle on the gauge, up and down to the cycling of the pump.



I just put the Carter pusher pump on mine. I also have a 30 micron filter that keeps the pumps clean. I have a 7# push and a replacement 15# for the lift. I get 12 idle, 10-12 cruise, and no less than 8 WOT. I might get a 15# push because of the filter behind it later on though just to get a few more PSI at the pump

The more I think about it, the more I suspect that pump would probably have problems in full-time operation, where a constant fuel flow is required - in fact, that is probably a large reason for ALL the LP problems - it takes a pretty decently well engineered pump to function constantly, providing not only fuel to operate the engine, but also a steady flow for lube and cooling of the injector pump...

looking at the lower pressure ratings and the low gph rating I do not think that these pumps will flow anywhere near enough.
