KOB Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 My TR6 is running with carbs at present and for years 20+ I hade a Facet Automotive Electronic Fuel pump fitted, one of the early ones. It worked really well and was self regulating turning of whenever back pressure provided. the pump gave up the ghost last year and there not being a direct replacement I selected a Facet Gold Flow pum, straight replacement fit for pipework and electrical. The Gold Flow pump does not self regulate it runs all the time that power is supplied to it. Has anyone a view on whether this is a good situation ? I am slightly concerned that it runs all the time Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Moltu Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 It's interesting as facet do produce some low pressure pumps - got one on the 4 but it doesn't switch off. The Stag also has a low pressure SU pump that does seem to switch off when up to pressure which I think would do the job without a pressure restrictor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harlequin Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) I have used a Facet Gold for about 5 years, I have a Malpassi regulator and an inertia cut off switch from a junk yard Ford Fiesta. I am pleased with the setup, car starts on the button and no real problems with fuel evaporation. Another plus is they are ethanol resistant. I did look at the SU pumps which don't require a regulator but cost was a bit to much George Edited May 16, 2022 by harlequin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
