fuel pump problems with the eco charger ?
Thursday, April 20, 2006 9:01 AM
Sup guys, my charger will be here in a week, I just wanted to know if I had to keep my fuel tank at least 1/4 full or if there were any problems at all since the charger doesn't include a better fuel pump. I know turbo guys sometimes have trouble with this. What about econator, airtonics, and the others who have the charger ?

I believe the guys that have trouble with this have swapped to the Walboro 255 pump, which would happen whether they were boosted or not.

So long as you're on the stock pump, you should have no problems with fuel levels, it should be the same as now. Whether the stock pump flows enough to feed a boosted motor is another issue though.

No issues, and I periodically run the tank down to nothing.......I have fill-ups in the 13 gallon neighborhood about once a week....

good.. I'm just trying to make sure I don't overlook anything...

every time I get something done on my car something goes wrong...... so I'm kinda nervous of the consequences of putting that much power in my engine even though many have gone through this process without problems

There are no problems at all with the gm charger and the stock fuel pump. I race the car, beat on it, driving it normal, run it empty, nothing seems to go wrong. Other than the occasional wishing I had more fuel after mashing on it .
