Fuel Pump Intall???

[Foot Performance]

I am putting my racetronix kit on the truck today and was looking at the sound insulator for the pump (the foam piece around the pump) has anyone left that off.

I was just wondering how it would affect the pumps cooling ability.

thanks for the help :tup:

I installed mine without it. I only hear the pump when I turn the key on and again when I turn it off. Never hear it with the motor running. Did you get the kit that includes the harness that runs directly off the alternator? I installed it on my truck about 2 years ago and it was a nice complete package. I was very satified with the package.

Yeah I got the hole kit. I am not to worried about the noise as I am about fuel pump life If I can keep it cooler without it I will just leave it off.

I did mine without it and the walbro I pulled from the truck that was installed seven years ago didn't have one neither

OK I thought this was odd I have never seen one of these on these typs of pumps I took pictures of it with the new fuel pump installed

should I keep this or put the hose on it I think it is some sort of check vavle

DO NOT reuse that, the kit comes with a short piece of hose that replaces it. I believe its called a "pulsator", it's junk and can fail.

I am glad I asked. I was thinking about reusing it becuase it seemed to seal well and I have seen the factory hoses blow out alot. I think the hose with the kit is a little beter quality though

thanks for the help:tup:
