Thread: what electric fuel pump?

Tweet

I just got thinking. older Volkswagons with fuel injection ( port and TBI ) have external high preassure fuel pumps, the tank pump is only a transfer pump. some of these engines are turbocharged. couple towns over, is the VW Parts USA ( 1800-VW- Parts ) junkyard, that ships worldwide, and is well known by the VW tuner crowd. they sell new OEM parts ( real cheap too ), as well as used parts. I could get a brand new fuel pump that can pump 20 PSI, and maintain a good flow. those guys are pretty knowlagble about the VW stuff, I'v dealt with them b4 ( brother had a couple VW's that always had somthing wrong ), so they could probably get me flow # and a good deal on somthing that would work. it's all Bosch stuff, so that's not bad.

sounds like a smart way to go... sometimes factory application stuff can cost a lot less, with my mustang i ended up finding a carter in tank pump modified for fitting my tank float and sending unit, so it all fits up to the factory lines nicely.... it only puts out 7psi though, so it wouldn't help you any matt, even though you have the same sending unit
