Fuel Issue for 350 TBI (1 Viewer)

[AdioZ]

What set up are you guys using? I have the mechanical pump on firewall and a small E pump underneath running on a toggle. I can get about 50 miles of constant driving before it starves itself. I can let it sit, cool down, and go another 30 to 40 miles and so on. When it shuts down you no longer hear the Autozone e pump working and the e pump is no more than a year old.
Do I need a stronger e pump or insulate the hoses and pump due to heat? Can I get rid of the manual pump and just purchase a stronger pump with pressure regulator. What PSI will I need to push the 350?
Any advise will be appreciated so I dont have to get towed again.

Any tbi fuel pump will work for your application. Ditch the mechanical and the generic pump.

So something to think about, when it dies have you opened the fuel tank cap? it really sould like you might be drawing a volumn out and no air replacing it. Thats wht might happen about that mileage. so next tim your out and it happens just open the cap,see if it draws in a bunch of air, reset the cap and try starting it up.

Ken makes it really simple, and is a very good idea too.
