EA82 Fuel Pump


Recommended Posts

Roach Auto database is very inaccurate.  They will send you a wrong part and you will pay for the return shipment.

 

We have plenty of threads here about new/replacement fuel pumps.  I believe Ford's pump will fit.

 

Try to search.

 

Good luck,

Sam

Thanks for the replies... however, I must be missing something.    I read about the Ford F-150 fuel pump ... but I thought that was EFI.

  My 1985 EA82 wagon is carbed.

Jeszek, did you put a new fuel pump in your Beast?   If so, what year F-150 should I be telling the parts guy to lookup on his computer?

No, it continues functioning with its original one which already has more than thirty years old; the Weber carburetors really doesn't need too much pressure; I've used my "BumbleBeast" for almost ten years without the fuel Return line hooked, and now a year with the return line hooked, it really doesn't make any difference in the fuel supply nor on the carburetor's behaviour.

 

A Carb fuel Pump has a Diaphragm, and that delivers fuel at around 2-3 psi, while the EFi fuel Pump has a Rotatory Vane, and delivers fuel at around 50 psi; too much pressure for Carburetors.

 

Sorry for the confusion, my mistake.

 

Kind Regards.
