Re: What do fuel pumps do without DC? 200 '82

posted by  someone claiming to be Evan R on  Mon Dec 11 19:30 CST 2000 [RELATED]

From what I know, pretty decently until the tank gets low, Don. But the Bosch main pump is trying to do A LOT of work pressurizing the fuel.

I guess I don't understand the physics involved. It doesn't seem like it would take a whole lot of suction to create the flow rates and pressures necessary for a carb'd engine.

What's in the tank of a B21A car? Just a sock and a sender?
