Reply to "Fuel pump and filter relocation"

When I first built Pearl I used a Facet solenoid fuel pump mounted to the bulkhead just ahead of the passenger’s feet. Turn on the key and you got this racket from the passenger side as the pump clicked and klacked while pumping fuel.

Drove....Me....Nuts!

So I moved that pump to the little splash tray in about the same area. The tray acted like an amplifier and the clicking racket actually got much worse with a new, clanging effect added. shake

Pulled that Facet pump and trash-canned it (tossing it into the trash barrell from across the garage actually felt pretty good!) and replaced it with a nice, quiet, rotary pump like you have. Big SEG after that!

That whole sub-assembly concept for the fuel delivery is terrific. Always good to put service considerations in the forefront.

Nice work Carlos!
