Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
The second pump (with 3 lines) is for a fuel return to the tank (which you most likely have). Just compare to your existing pump and you'll know which one to get.

what is the function of the return? My car is dual fuel. So I run on LPG and regular fuel. When I switch from fuel to gasoline, the supply to the carburator is cut of with an electric valve. This means the pump will be pumpin, cause its mechanical, but wont be moving any fuel. wich pump would you prefer in this situation?

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
I have found some information while surfing.
I found this: http://www.classiccarauto.com/impala...uel_pump.shtml Quote:
When I got my car, it was still fitted with al these emssion andfuel-vapor control systems. We took as much off as possible, but didnt get to al of it yet. This vapor-return-line is probably one more of these things. It is better for the environment to have the fuel-vapors of the fuelpump being returned to the fueltank, but in my case of no use. (I think) Can somebody confirm this? what happens inside the fuelpump, when pumpin fuel to the carb with a closed valve in the way?

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
It will be returning fuel, not vapor. There is likely a third line TO the tank that goes to a charcoal canister under the hood. I'd just get the pump that is the same as what you have.

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
The fuel return line was put on to reduce vapor lock. The increased flow from the fuel tank helped keep the fuel line cool but was too much pressure for a carb so the return line ran the unused fuel back to the tank.

and the advantage of an electrical pump is that the flow is not determined by the engine rpms, but is always fine. This makes filling the empty carb easier/quicker when switching from LPG to gasoline.

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
i changed the pump to electric on my 80 firebird ,had to replace the carb as the fuel pressure then showed the carb was leaking.but then it was ok,had a switch on the dash and wired to the alarm
took abit to get used to useing it,but yes it would fill the carb quickly

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
mine,it might be different it was a buick engine
but a lower pressured electric carb fuel pump as apposed to a FI pump should do that for you

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
I agree with the electric swap. In your case, it just makes more sense. And it should be a lower psi pump, definitely less than 15 psi because that would just be total overkill for your carb. Any parts store should have "on the shelf" generic pumps that should work just fine for you.

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
Haha. Looks like pretty crappy weather. Or pretty awesome weather, depending on how much fun you want to have in it off the road.

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
please help!
the Haynes says 1/2 pint per 15 seconds = 2 pints per minute = 120 pint per hour = 15 GPH. right? I found thuis nice little fuel pump. Not to expensive! The pressure is just right, but it delivers 35 GPH. Will that be a problem? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PFS-10700/?rtype=10 and they advise the use of a fuel filter before the pump? is that really necessary? Because there is already a fuel filter at the inlet of the carb?

Re: 86 Suburban: different fuelpumps?
sounds likes it's a bigger line or higher pressure
and the filter there for sure ,for what ever reason dirt gets/got in the fuel tank,you save the pump,clear ones are the easiest to see for confirmation of fuel delivery
