Electric Fuel Pump


Since the Explorer front dress will NOT accept a fuel pump, I have to go electric. The pump's installation instructions noted the pump should be protected, so I built this mount out of 18 guage 36 x 6 weldable sheet metal picked up at the local ACE store. I coated it with POR-15 and POR-15 chassis coat. Once again, the chassis coat didn't spread as well as I would have liked.




I'm using leftover 5/16 - 18 bolts from the Explorer dress. The housing will be insulated from the frame, word is these Holley vertical pumps are loud, through drilled 3/8 holes and rubber exhaust insulators above and below the cars sheet metal.
