Stupid fuel pump question

Postby blueg33 » Wed May 08, 2013 4:38 pm

If I install a high flow fuel pump, eg Bosch 044 do I run the risk of emptying the aux tank before the lifter can fill it?

I actually have a nice deal on a higher flow rate pump than the Bosch but with a similar warranty.

I dont want to go through the pain of fitting it only to find i have to remove it

Thanks in advance

Return goes back into the aux tank and your squirters will still only be pulling the same volume :wink:
