Hi Guys
Could some please help, as i ordered a new Facet pump but the guy has let me down and just had a quick look and a number of site's are stating 6-8psi for a stock fuel pump, is this correct??? as if so i could get away with using this on my carb setup.

Many Thanks

Ralph

I thought that -

electronic injection systems are typically about 35psi
Carb systems are about 4-6psi.
K series injection for 2.8 V6 is a whopping 75 psi

The lower pressure pumps you quote are for carbs. You need a higher pressure 'Injection' pump - assuming you are running injection.

I have fuel injection pump from my wedge which I had to replace as the engine had been converted to carbs but the pump was still high pressure.

Yours for a tenner posted. It worked when it was fitted and I only took it off in January.
