So this would be my 3rd fuel pump to go out in 5 years... the walboro 255 pumps just aint cutting it, barely last 2,000 miles.. anyone running any other inline fuel pumps that they reccomend?

 

are your walbro 255's intank??

what rail pressure are you running?

keeping more than a 1/4 of a tank at all times?

 

I would echo those comments and add
Are you running wiring upgrades?

 

Also there are Walbro knockoffs sold on Ebay & elsewhere!!! Thats why I recommend buyin from Racetronix & get the hardwire kit too!! IF youve been doin all that maybe swap to an Aeromotive pump! Thats my 2cents

 

yep intake, hhmm idk beats me whatever they tuned it for... shows on gauge it runs around 43psi, its a street cari fill it up when it needs it lol

yep racetronix hot wire kit

this a insult? I dont buy cheap parts for my car, warbro 255 suck plain and simple and i already have the racetronix hotwire kit on it

 

Weldon.

 

just looked on their site, they dont have inline fuel pumps

 

LoL never said you put cheap **** on your ride!!! That Aeromotive aint to damn cheap last time I checked I was just tryin to help!! Sorry if it got under your skin

 

oh i overlooked the aeromotive part, i zone into the ebay comment and didnt see the rest lol... yea thats really the only one im seeing that looks like it can handle good power

 

LoL its all good!!! I just meant, I hope ya didnt get took by some ********!! The worlds full of people tryin to make a fast buck off the walbros. Hell they got me on my old blazer! SOB looked the part but wouldnt pump 60psi to save its life!!! threw it in the trash & went to the parts house to get an A/C Delco LoL Guess I didnt feel like writin a book before. I aint the best at the computer stuff The ole lady says Im the fastest 1 finger typer in the world LMFAO

 

haha yea its cool no worries lol

 

Is the pump enclosed in the stock fuel bucket? Not running one of those can overheat and kill a pump quickly. The bucket is there to keep the pump submerged in fuel and cool regardless of the level of fuel in the tank.

 

Now I'm not saying you don't know what you are doing, but plenty of people putting down excellent numbers, and running a single walbro for years with no problems. I could see a manufacturing flaw on one but three?? Seems like you might have something irregular causing the pumps to fail prematurely. What kind of fuel socks are you putting on the pumps? also what fuel filter brand are you running?

 

Is it the pumps or are you using the black rubber connector hose and that develops a leak?

 

Pump doesn't suck, you have other issues.

Dirty tank, filter falling off, unclean installation, running pump dry, overheating it by not keeping it submerged, hoses degrading, etc...there are a LOT of ways to kill a pump, but the walbro 255 can handle a lot more then you are making, reliably.

Keep in mind those fuel pumps have very tiny, fragile plastic gears inside them that can be damaged by just a few grains of sand.

 

 

We have install over a hundred Racetronix kits and they just flat work. I here people all the time say they put a walbro pump in and did not do a Racetronix because it is cheaper.

I always find it interesting that it seems easier for them to spend the money two or three times over again then do it right the first time.

My first Racetornix pump is stil going in a second car now. I want to say I put it in my car in 2003 and daily drove it for 30k mile in my car. made over 680RWHP with just the one pump and it never skipped a beat. It is now in another car and has another 80K miles on it daily driving run 11s at will.

Good luck with your issues man
