what huh Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaingoatgruff Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 it might, but i'd be hard to drive with a fuel tank bolted to your hood... 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.

backinbrat Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 it might, but i'd be hard to drive with a fuel tank bolted to your hood... . I was thinking roof rack. About 1 psi per foot of elevation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what huh Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
