Due to its operating pressure of up to 8 PSI (some 0.55 Bar), the GOLD-FLO Red Top Competition pump usually requires a pressure regulator to prevent your carburetor(s) from flooding but please check your system requirements to make sure.
A variety of pressure regulators can be found HERE.
Please use our superior quality PTFE tape each time that you (re-)assemble screwed connections in the fuel tract in order to properly seal the connection.
As an alternative, you can use our Loctite 542 Thread Sealant which will offer the added properties of protecting your connections from undoing themselves.
We strongly advise you to secure your fuel lines using our Stainless Steel Hose Clamps.
When using an electrical fuel pump, we also advise you to equip your vehicle with an Inertia Fuel Cut-Off Switch as a safety precaution.
This is Facet Pump Number 480532 which is stamped onto one of the brackets.
The bracket on the other side shows the operating voltage and polarity, in this case Neg. for "Negative Earth" and 12V for 12 Volt.
