waiting for racetronix to fix it. since you can not buy a bucket new

 

I may just put seal all where the crack is and put the pump inside the bucket. I cannot wait as this is the only car that i have. Man, this **** sucks.

 

for your reference this is a known problem. the pump fits in the bucket fine. its the oring that cracks it because its to thick. i told them they need to use a smaller oring and they said they might have to start including 2 o-rings because some fit..some dont

 

Doesn't the return line have a filter that fits inside the bucket that filters the returned fuel? I just noticed this looking at the bucket. Also, the inlet has a screen around it also. I am not doubting what you have said, I am just trying to see what my options are because I have to get my car back on the road.

 

fuel can still swoosh around in the tank into the bucket...id be safe

 

Racetronix.....Hello?

 

did you not call them?

 

Yeah, I finally got in contact with them. I did not know today was a holiday in Canada so most of the people were out of the office/shop. They are going to take care of the situation. Thank you Racetronix!

 

Well, I received my new pump from Racetronix today. It does not fit! I had to pay for a used fuel pump assembly just to get another bucket. I don't know if I got a pump from a new batch that they were supposed to be shipping out but the date on my pump says 3-9-09. Racetronix, I am in a desperate situation here as this is my only transportation.

This pump was machined and checked before it was sent out to you. We have a few test buckets here and all was OK. Perhaps we can give you a call tomorrow to find out what is going on. Perhaps there is something missing from the picture here?

 

How much pressure do I have to put on the pump to get it to seat? Should it just slide in place? If I take the o-ring off, the pump fits into the inlet.

 

A VERY small amount of pressure is required. Just enough interference to make sure the o-ring makes a seal.

 

Sorry to bump a somewhat old thread, but I was set on buying this kit. After reading this thread, I assume this is not the pump included with the Racetronix kit, which appears to be the Walbro pump designed to fit in our fuel pump buckets?

infact is the walbro pump....racetronix does not make a fuel pump.

 

I understand that Racetronix doesn't manufacture the pump. I'm just curious whether that is the particular Walbro pump that's included in the Racetronix kit. The Walbro pump I linked to appears to be designed to fit our fuel pump buckets, and appears to have an offset fuel inlet. There are a lot of comments in this thread about the Walbro pump used with the Racetronix kit having a centered fuel inlet.
