Re: Do I need to install an electric fuel pump

The only time you need an electric fuel pump with a stock-ish carb setup would be with 10% ethanol fuel and hot weather. The ethanol makes the fuel tend to vapor lock. Even with only 7 psi the fuel is under pressure and helps protect against vapor lock. I lived in North Texas and would drive to work in the morning no problem. Headed home at 4 and the truck would quit half way home. Cooled down and started right up. Added the pump and covered the fuel lines and problem solved.
