ae85 fuel pump

Postby V-tec » Mon Mar 24, 2008 8:40 pm

Hey guys im doing a ae85 to ae86 conversion. Atm trying to sort out my facet electronic fuel pump to run my 4age carbbed engine.
Im planing to mount the new pump behind the fuel tank by the differential( on one of the tank straps )..I also have already identified the main fuel line out of the 3 coming out of the fuel tank which feeds the fuel out via pump.

So my questions are: is AE85 fuel pump mechanical or electronic?
If its electronic where would i find it on the tank and do i have to drop the tank to get to it?

If its mechanical could i just bridge in to the main fuel line with the new pump and simply run it from there? Which is what i want to do.

Thanks guys any help is much appreciated!

The AE85 fuel pump is a mechanical one, you could mount the fuel pump in line with the factory fuel line.

Just get a VL Commodore pump and mount it in line. You cant run your tank low though as you will root the pump if it is starved of gas.

I know a lot of people who have done this, but myself and many others opt for surge tank/lifter pump and external pump.
