190 LPH fuel pump

[tording]

I have a 190 LPH fuel pump that I have had for a few years. I originally had it in my 91 GT I had then I eventually upgraded to an external Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump. When I took the 190 pump out I put it in storage and it has been there for the past 2 or so years. Well I know have a 92 LX and I want to put that 190 LPH fuel pump in since I have it but I am not 100% sure its still good. It has been in storage and prior to that was only used for about 1 1/2 years. What do you think? Would I be ok to throw this 190 LPH pump in?

just get a 255 pump. My local shop has them for $50 brand new.

What is your local shop and do they have a website?

255 is overkill, it'll have a return fuel line, but it'll be unnecessary, especially if you have a 190 sitting around. Id use it.

 

[onefstsnake]

not if he plans on some future mods.

a 255 wont hurt anything. But I dunno about a used pump thats sat out for a year or more...

its a return style fuel system you could run a 12343034374938 LPH pump and it would run the same as stock. i bought a 190 lph pump a while back, but now i am planning on a SC in the distant future. i wish i had gone with the 255, i will probably have to buy one lol.

I'd throw the 190lph pump in. See what happens, even if you decide to run some more power thru the engine in the future you can support some decent power with a 190lph pump.

Well I know that the 190 pump is more than enough for the mods I will be running anytime in the next year. I was just a little curious about the pump itself since its been in storage for a while if it would still be ok. Anyway you guys know of safely testing it to see if it still pumps? I was thinking hook 12v up to it from the battery but afraid that will burn it up.

supply it with a good amount of fuel for your test and it won't burn up. you just need to simulate the bucket it would be in and spark it up.

I hope you were kidding when you told him to stick it in a bucket of gasoline and "spark it up". You just explained the perfect scenario for burning your face off! Hook it up to a 12 volt source for a couple of seconds,(submerged in nothing!) this won't hurt it. If it turns on it's probably ok.
