Fuel Pump
« on: November 05, 2007, 05:47:16 PM »
I've got a new Marine Holley Fuel pump and as soon as someone can tell me where one connection is suppose to go this thread can be deleted.

See the Photo.



Can this just be plugged off?

That's your fuel/fume vent tube. Most people just run it back to the inlet line by placing a "T" in the inlet line and connecting it to the T.

Thanks for the answer.  Now I've got another line to plumb in.   :-\   I think I can be a certified plumber when I get done here.  :D

Doesn't that fuel vent tube run into a flame Arrestor type air filter on marine applications?
Should be something on the net about it...

Rebel,  I've been looking.  Emailed Holley and never get a reply.  My arrestor doesn't have any place to connect a tube to it.

if the diaphram in the pump goes bad, the fumes/gas will be put into the engine due to vacuum via the tube.

That makes sense...however re-routing it to the inlet would also work. The point is to not allow the fuel/fumes to be released to the outside and keep them contained within the motor/fuel pump correct?

you are correct in that's the point of it but that's not how's the regs are written.  You could still be written up because of the ignorance of a Sheriff.

correct along with salt water conditions/applications.
