Im putting togther an alky kit and was going to use just a sureflo pump, but i noticed i can get carter electric fuel pumps at the parts store i work at for only 40 bucks so i was wondering if anybody had used a fuel pump for alky before? or whether it would work or not? i dont see why it wouldent really, but id rather get some other opinions rather than waste money on a pump that wont work right. let me know, any input will help.

i can't help you at all, but one thing to consider is that alki can corrode certain pumps.

The SMC alky kit uses a Ford efi fuel pump submersed in the tank.
It needs to stay submerged becasue the alky will dry the seals out faster.

I can sell you a modified Alky pump for $100.00 and I'll warranty it for a year.
If you use the shurflow pump, it isn't really 100% alcohol compatible.
E F I pumps as stated can and will corrode over time and you have to run oils with them.If you need any thing let me know by PM
