Electric Fuel Pump Filters

[bigboi]

The Holley HP150 Manual states there should be a filter between tank and Inlet...



Is it safe to say a NEW Fuel Pickup Assembly for a OEM 67 Camaro tank that has the filter bag on the end of the pickup line is a SAFE filter to use as the filter between tank and Inlet?

or... Would you guys run another filter besides that one?

I basically have it setup like this...

Fuel Pickup Filter Bag --> Holley HP150 Elec pump --> FRAM HPG1 Filter --> Fuel Line --> Carb

That is a filter between the tank and the pump. I don't know if it gets down to the micron rating you need.

Yeh I was wondering about the micron rating... Probably isn't the correct micron rating if I had to guess.

Problem I am encountering is the pumps I am using (I have tried a Holley HP150 and an Aeromotive SS/Street Strip 11203) make a loud noise. It sounds like they are struggling to pump.

I know they like to be gravity fed and since the 67 Camaro doesn't have a proper location to gravity feed the pumps I think the pumps have a hard time.

So... I am trying to elimate any obstacle in the way of the pump easily feeding fuel to the inlet of the pump. More filters in the line, more restriction...

Dude I am running the hp150 as well. It's a noisy mother and mine is gravity fed with 1/2 hose from the bottom of the tank. I plan to isolate the bracket in rubber as soon as it's on the road. You need to make sure your tank is properly vented as well. Once I vented my tank it did quiet down some.

Yeh mine isn't gravity fed. It sits right above the fuel tank which is not the best place for it, but then again with a stock OEM tank there is not much else you can do.

I'm running 3/8 hose all the way. I don't know about a ventilation for a stock tank, but I have a bypass regulator returning the fuel to the tank. I fabricated a bulkhead into the OEM sending unit.... Works pretty good.

If you think the HP150 is noisy... Dude... Wait till you hear other electric fuel pumps... OMG they sound like a got' damn train horn. LOL!

i'm running the aeromotive a1000. its not too noisy...well, i can't hear it over the motor. anyway, i'm using a 100micron before the filter and a 10 micron after. i'm using the stock tank as well, just had a sump welded in. that way i'm pulling from the bottom of the tank. thats the best way i could figure out to keep my pump from having to work too hard to pull the fuel from the tank. i have my return bung located at the top/front/p.s. corner. one things for sure, my motors not starving for fuel.
