After my fuel pump going out in the middle of the trail at Katemcy and talking with Jr. I've been looking around at alternatives. Anyone have any input on using a mechanical pump capable to producing EFI pressure? Seems like it'd be more reliable to me.

Also says on their website that no return line is needed, I'm not seeing how this is possible with EFI.

ah, i see they have an efi pump now that'll do 150 psi. sweet, go for it and report back.
don't buy a ****ty pump and it won't happen
master sucks
carter doesn't
...
and bring a spare

I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
1990ish f250īs had ext fuel pumps. They are not very expensive from the parts house.
The only real issue with a mechanical pump like this is vapor lock. You have to pay careful attention to fuel line routing and heat shielding.
Additionally, electronic fuel pumps will prime the system as soon as the key is turned on. This one will require a bit more cranking, although it probably will hold pressure better/longer than an electric pump.

Thats what he has.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
I have heard that the ford exterior fuel pumps work very well too
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
its probably got something to do with the way you have it mounted too.
is it a master exxxx? I've killed 2 of those, they suck.
carter is so much better, more metal, less plastic. And it's heavier. if it doesn't work you can throw it at them.
if you've got vapor lock, remember.... pv=nrt

It was an F250 pump that I burned up, got it from napa and didnt pay any attention to the brand. As to being not that expensive, tell that to the napa in Mason, they charged me out the ass!
I wouldnt expect vapor lock to be that much of an issue with a high pressure pump, but even so I never experienced it with my mechanical pump with the carb
if you got it from napa, its probably decent. are you running a strainer of filter before it? where is it mounted and is it the stock bronco tank?
...
Vapor lock is usually an issue on the low pressure/suction side, not the high pressure side. An in tank electric pump cures that. EFI will be more susceptable to pressure variations as there is no fuel bowl reserve.

ive got one of these at home ill make you a deal on. i ran it for a while with no problems.
