I took out my Walbro 255 fuel pump because the thing whines crazy loud but was getting louder over time and I was wondering why and i didnt see nothing wrong with it so I put it back in and funny thing is once i turned it on it was quiet as about a 190lph. I was like
and to top that off the gas gauge stopped working. It was on E when i did the fuel pump, after I put it back in i drove it to the gas station and put 7 dollars in it and the needle didnt move even though the light went away.
Just wondering what in the gas tank/ fuel pump has any relevance to the gas gauges operation?
( As far as the fuel pump being really loud then getting quiet, instead of the stock set up that plugs onto the top of the fuel pump that goes to the fuel line, the original owner of the car put a thick fuel hose with two clamps... Maybe the clamp was choking flow causing the fuel pump to over work... My own assumption... I did some pulls and it didnt knock or lean out before or after my tinkering and my fuel system has had to deal with over 20psi of boost already w/ no issues so i guess its ok... )
