Gravity Feed Carb. . . gas to engine

Featured Replies

My question is will a carbed subaru motor run if the gas is gravity feed?

 

So that you wouldnt have to worry about a fuel pump.

 

For example: how motorcycles are set-up

That will Work only if the Gas Tank & Lines are Vacuum / Presurized, but it Certainly will make your Subie Very Unsafe...

...or I Can`t Figure out how to Hold a Can of Fuel Over the Engine while Driving... I`ve Tried Feed the Carb with a Can but only for Testing Fuel System Purposes, only for a While...

it might, but i'd be hard to drive with a fuel tank bolted to your hood...:lol:

 

but seriously, what are you trying to use this for? surely it can't be that difficult to rig a pump, and in just about any application i can think of its much safer.

pressure regulator, thats how i got round it

 

in theory im running half 1 PSI, 1 at tops

 

good point why would you not just rig up a pump? lol

it might, but i'd be hard to drive with a fuel tank bolted to your hood...:lol:

I was thinking roof rack. About 1 psi per foot of elevation...:)

this is for a project that im working on. But from doing research it looks like it would be easier to use a pump anyways.

 

the reason why i was asking was because i wanted to see if i could knock off some fabrication of my list of things to do.

 

But there are more pros than cons to running a pump so that is what im going to do

 

 

side note: Does anybody have EJ22 with a FWD auto? I need a measurement from the front of the crank pulley to the back of the tranmission
