Fuel Pump Conversion

**joseph20** · March 14th, 2009 06:39 PM

Mga experts, balak ko po kasi ipa-convert yung fuel pump ko in Universal Fuel Pump! Meaning, ilalabas o ililipat na yung fuel pump ko sa hood near fuel filter. Kasi, nag-loloko yung fuel pump ko, pag umiinit na, pumuputok na yung fuse na Cause is tirik! Suggest sakin ng electrician ko, i-convert nalang at mas mura pa talaga. Cost lang ng mga 1.5k convertion including Brand New universal pump motor. Too expensive po kasi yung electronic fuel pump, nasa 6k brandnew!! My disadvatages kaya ganun?? Pero, my nakapag try na po sa inyo ng ganun? mr ride is Sentra ECCS.

Hanap ka na lang surplus in Banawe, Nissan marami yan mga 1.5 lang yan

Buy ka nalang ng oem pump or kung nagtitipid surplus nalang pero you'll never know when a surplus unit will break down. Most of the fuel injected cars have their pumps/filters near the gas tank except for those mechanical type. Could be for safety purposes. Frankly, I would mess around with the fuel system.

medyo hindi kasi sigurado sa mga surplus na fuel pump, baka after 6 to 8 months, mag loko ulit! yung universal fuel pump, nasa 1k lang brand new, but hindi ko lalam kung my disadvantages yung pag coconvert!?! baka bumagal kasi hatak!

Hmm....there's are reasons why the original pump was placed inside the tank... it's also easier to push liquids than to "pull"........

The pump is also cooled by the fuel.

It takes more work to pull out and replace the old pump and your mechanic is not comfortable with the job so he recommends the conversion.

I don't trust the P1.5k elec pumps...I've gone through a couple of them.
You'll be lucky to find one that will serve you for many years...

If I were you, I'd invest in a new or relatively new pump same as your old one.... expensive maybe but for safety and convenience, it's worth it.

Agree ako kay Eric, pumps are cooled by the fuel. Its also better to push than pull. The down side of putting an external pump is the noise it creates and the difference in rating.

If your present pump is working and the fuse gets busted then wiring, grounding or stuck-up ang kailangan tutukan.

you need to use a high-pressure fuel pump coz your ride is EFI ... AFAIK, those 1.5K-fuel pumps are low pressured ... correct me if I'm wrong ...

I said to the electrician that, baka wirings lang at may problema sa fuse box or grounded. But, he test kung may grounds, kiniskis nya, but wala naman ka spark spark, also he checks the fuse box, wala rin naman daw problema. He explain na, my case daw sa mga fuel pump na pag sobrang init na ng motor ay pumuputok na yung fuse ng fuel pump, and ang suggestion nya is convert it to universal pump, ilalagay nalang daw sa tabi ng fuel filter under the hood. Naiisip ko lang kasi, bakit ang mura ng universal electronic pump, nasa 1k lang siya, yung brand new na electronic na OEM nasa 6k to 8k sa Casa. Kaya I ask here baka my side effects or delikado o baka naman bumagal hatak. Marunong at may mga na-convert na naman daw siya like vans, kia, and a civic.
newbie po kasi ako sa mga ganun.

I wouldn't change the design of the car, especially when we're talking about fuel systems. The fuse is blowing for a reason and the mechanic's analysis seems correct. What I disagree on is the workaround he's trying to sell. I'd rather change the fuel pump with the same OEM pump. Less alterations means the car remains stock-safe.
