Works fine with a Weber 32/34DMTL. Ideally fit an inertia
cut-off switch (I got one out of a Fiesta) in case you have a
bump as it will cut the pump. So far not needed any pressure
regulator.

I've tried a couple of Facet pumps on the ambulance and had a
few issues with them not drawing the fuel up after the vehicle
had been standing for a few weeks. Part of the issue is Facet
pumps, at least all I've seen, should be fitted low down close
to the fuel tank. Not a practical proposition with a twin tank
military set up. After a bit of trial and error I've found the
HUCO pump (marketed by Webcon i.e. Weber) very good as it's
designed to be mounted in the engine bay.

I have it on a bracket
attached to the rocker cover and run it through a glass bowl
sedimenter pre-pump. Buggered if I can find a photo of the setup
but it works well.

Noel do you have the data specs for the mechanical pump for
2&1/4L engine? I looked in the manual(s) and don't see any data
on this? If I hook up a vacuum/fuel pump gauge what psi should
I expect? Donk.

Anyone whose interested , the optimum fuel pressure from your
electric fuel pump should be 2.5psi, some saying up to 3psi.
That was the common response from people dealing carbies and
fuel pumps. Those low pressure SU fuel pumps found on quite a
few British cars are ideal and will prob last a lot longer than
those little facet type pumps available everywhere. But its all
done to a price, get what you pay for. Theres a couple of
quality German brands and Burlen make the real mcoy SU pumps.
