Fuel Pump Upgrade for Ethanol

eldinbabic · 08-28-2017, 01:09 PM

I am looking into upgrading my fuel pump to run a 40% ethanol mixed fuel. I have read through some forums but no one is very clear on what pump is preferred (brand/model). Any help is appreciated.

Walbro 450 PN F90000267 is the common pump for stage 2 LPFP's.

Just did my own DIY and fitted to my stock bucket. So far so good!

I've seen the "fuel-it" stage 1 kits, is that pump not adequate for running ethanol? The stage 2 is twice the price.

I just looked at the pump, it's actually cheaper than a fuel it stage 1. Is it just a straight swap over? Thanks for the info

Not sure what pump is used for the stage one.

I bought a kit from quantum fuels and purchased a 5/16 to AN quick connect. We have a lathe at work so I turned down the 6 AN threads for the 3/8 PTFE hose supplied. The bucket assembly is all held together by plastic welds and glue. You have to heat areas up and break them loose. Re-assembly consisted of rivets and zip ties lol.

Fuel it stage 2 kit would be the best option
