CarBole Micro Electric Gasoline Fuel Pump Universal 5/16 inch Inlet and Outlet 12V 1-2A 35GPH 4-7 P.S.I.

What this was installed on is a 1984 Dodge ram pick up with a 360 V8. I originally purchased a Carter fuel pump from Amazon and it was complete junk. They advertised a curved arm which is what I need however what came was a straight arm I checked the part number and verified they sent the right part. However due to the fact that it was straight the camshaft was not able to push down the pump enough to pump fuel. It was the complete wrong design of fuel pump once again more Chinese garbage made by Carter. I purchased this fuel pump as a last resort option to get the truck running again wired it up blocked off the original pump re-ran the fuel lines and now it works flawlessly. If you have an old vehicle that has a carburetor this is a must to replace the factory pump. However you will have to run a Fuel pressure regulator due to the fact that this pump pump entirely way too much fuel he needs to be turned down to around five psi this is roughly 7 to 10 psi which is too much for a carburetor. But other than that this fuel pump works great

I had a failure with the first pump BUT Carbole people were great and sent me a replacement pump and it works GREAT!!!! Thank you for a quick replacement!!!!!!

This pump is made with a steel shell for the pump and the filter and steel hose barb, which makes it unsuitable for use with gasoline available in the USA because it It will rust through and fail. The pump arrived filled with a mix of kerosene and light oil to prevent it from rusting and seizing in storage before it can be installed. Find a pump that has a brass shell instead. Fuels that contain ethanol always contain some water. Ethanol is extremely hydroscopic, the only the question is how much water. Unfortunately, for the steel shell, it really doesn't matter how much, any water will promote rapid corrosion. If its installed below the tank level, fuel will leak even when the pump is off.My particular pump arrived minus one of the hose barbs, I had to take a barb from the 30 year old die cast pump it would have been replacing and I noticed that the old nipple was brass, and the new one was steel, which was easily remedied by taking both barbs from the old pump. Then I grew suspicious and tested the shell with a magnet and I realized the manufacturer hadn't simply plugged it up with fluid leftover from testing, this pump has a steel shell that corrodes easily and is suitable for use in most of the world but not the USA because it isn't suitable for use with fuels containing ethanol.I'll be sending mine back. I suggest you do the same if you can.Update:Needed the boat's tank pumped out and adjusting the 40 year old mechanical contact solenoid pump was more frustrating than usual (failing springs), so I used this one for pumping out the boat after all, and it can't be returned once its been used and has fuel in it. The fuel delivery rate was around 1/3 of that of the pump from the 1970's, right around 11GPH with a 24" vertical lift and 5 feet of 5/16" ID tube on inlet and outlet. That makes pumping a 20 gallon boat tank into 5 gallon jugs a tedious chore. To be fair its also a lot smaller and lighter and the old one was $23 in '78 so its also far less expensive. The 1970's pump is a cast aluminum shell and pump structure with brass hose barbs and doesn't suffer from water in the fuel. Its completely repairable so i'll fill this new one with oil so it doesn't rust inside and put it on the shelf until I can give it to someone who needs one to transfer fuel.

Works great, easy hook up!

This little pump is awesome literally gets gas to the carburetor immediately pressure is perfect I put mine on a switch

Works in 1990 4.2L Jeep Wrangler (YJ) with a Weber Carb. 65+ mph

Update:I used this ONE time, for 40 minutes to transfer fuel, last November. When I went to use it again 2 months later it wasn't working. Using a flashlight I could see a lot of rust inside one end, so I kept filling it with water and rinsing it out. After rust particles stop coming out I tapped it a few times and it started working again. Pumping water through it got rid of even more rust, and when I was convinced it was clean enough, I pumped gas through it into a container until it was clean gas flowing through it. It's now pumping gas from my 35 gallon caddy into my car.I guess I need to put some mineral oil in it this time after I'm finished. It should stop the rust but not sure how it will affect the other parts, but what else can I do?======================================================================================I have one of those red, round, 35 gallon gas caddys sold here, and the rotary pump started spewing gasoline all over the place when I went to pump some gas. It's out of warranty and I didn't want to buy a whole new designed-to-fail pump, only to have the same problem (internal seal not gas resistant). So I had a full caddy of gas and no way to pump it.I saw others using these fuel pumps for gas transfer (someone even sells an expensive kit here. Same pump but in a plastic case with hoses and a switch). So I put together my own version; bought some cheap vinyl 5/16" hose, wired up an on/off circuit breaker I already had, and it works perfectly.Now it's not as fast as using a mechanical pump, but it looks like it was close to it's 30 gallon per hour rating. Within seconds of flipping the switch the hoses were filled with gas. It's a pulsating kind of pump, not really loud but noticeable. Like someone else here said, it sounds like a woodpecker. I ran it for maybe 25-30 minutes to fill half my car's gas tank. There is no auto shut off so you don't want to run it unattended.As with most things, time will tell how long it lasts. It got kind of warm, so it's probably not a good idea to run it hours on end.
