FE Technical Forum / Carter fuel pump
« on: March 21, 2024, 02:53:01 PM »
I picked up the Carter M4008 fuel pump I wanted the built in filter since there is plenty of room in this 74 F100 and its out of site for the most part. Two birds one stone kinda solution. Summit lists this pump at 40gph and Carters website at 35gph. I'm thinking may be border line on this build. Disclaimer I haven't driven it yet so it may be just fine and I'm overthinking it.
My question is anybody use this pump and actually know what kind of power it will support? Additionally when is it time to upgrade the 5/16" formed line from pump to carb to 3/8" assuming the pump is supplying plenty of fuel for whatever HP, when does the line itself become the problem.
Is there a higher flowing pump with integrated filter? I really don't want to run an inline filter over the front of the engine. If it comes to it I'll probably go with the carter electric at 50gph there is a good spot on the frame where the 2 tanks once switched just a few feet in front of the rear/existing tank.
