  • Fuel Pump Question

    I have a '67 camaro with a TPI setup I'm working on. The owner put an inline pump on that's cavitating due to being above the tank. I'm thinking about putting the 12-300 in-tank pump in, but was wondering if it would hurt anything to have that regulated even further down in psi at the fuel rail? The TPI runs on about 10 psi less of fuel pressure and has a factory regulator on the intake with a return line that's already plumbed into the tank. I know this fuel pump is already internally regulated, but was not sure if it'd mess with anything to have another regulator down the line to drop the pressure a little more? Thanks.

    No, only use one fuel pressure regulator.

      Danny, is there a way to bypass the internal regulator on the 12-300? I'm not exactly sure how that works, but the fuel rail is a return style with diaphragm regulator which is set between 43-47 psi and then returns to the tank. I'm not sure if I can find an in-tank style pump for a stock tank that’s not internally regulated without going to an aftermarket replacement tank.

        Disable or remove it.

          If your front mounted regulator is set for 47 psi at WOT (no vacuum), then I don't see any issue, since the 58 psi regulator won't be releasing fuel within the tank.
          All EFI pumps self-regulate, either internally or within a tank. The 58 psi will give you some high psi safety in the event of a front mounted fuel pressure regulator jamming shut. Gary

            I would not run two fuel pressure regulators!

              I wouldn't either. Just remove the internal regulator from the 12-300 module and run the regulator at the rail with a return. Andrew.
