Title: Fuel pumps for methanol
Post by: Andy Sykes on August 05, 2012, 17:37:02 pm
Hi guys as I'm now going methanol what fuel pump would you recommend for circa 800bhp I've found this little different to an electric pump but I will have a toothed drive any way anybody got any recommendations

 i used to use that pump, you have plumb in a prime pump to get rail pressure up.


 I now use a Weldon pump. buy the best they make pumps for aircraft. ;)

mine is the DB2525-A. think you'll find its has one of the lowest current draw of any of the high out put pump.

you also will need to get the filters 40 micron pre filter as the pump has really tight tolerances and a 10 micron post filter to protect the injectors.
