Holley Red Pump(s) Failing ?? Hi There from Aus
I have a circuit car with an LS 6.0 with a 750 Brawler carb set up
I did up a fuel cell in the boot and which incorporates in order... Filter - Red Holley - Filter - To Surge tank - Out to Blue Holley - Then to Reg - Then to Carb (and reg back to Surge Tank)
My issue is... I have had TWO separate surge tank pumps and they have BOTH failed the same way.... After about hr on the track.... the the flow slower WAY down... to the point of be able to limp back to the pits due to very little fuel going into the surge tank.
I cant figure out why both would fail in the very same way
Is it... that seeing the pump is simply pumping fuel into an ambient space and not getting any back pressure... and over heating ?
Do I need to choke the low or something ??... like maybe a dedicated regulator ?
Tanks in advance
