Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I ran one of those pumps and they suck to prime. If I remember correctly, Marco use to run compressed air into his fuel cell to push the fuel to the pump to get his car started. One hell of a pump when the car was running, but a pain in the ass to get it started every time. Unless you could find some sort of fuel check valve that wont be restrictive.

Also, when running a mechanical fuel pump, NHRA rules state you have to have a manual fuel shut off connected to your battery disconnect outside of the vehicle in case of crash/fire. Hassle in my eyes.
