Fuel Pump Recommendation

drgrcr1156 · 05-27-2012, 07:21 AM

I think I need to replace my BG500 fuel pump. It is leaking when running. The last time I had it rebuilt, it leaked as soon as I installed it. Had to return it again and it still wasn't quite right. And the service was not good either. So I swore if I had to repalce it, I would go with another manufacturer. So which is more of a direct replacement or better replacement, Magnafuel of Aeromotive?

Product Engineering. John's a little out there but been building fuel pumps a long time.

First with SuperFlow pumps in the early 90's then he built the original BG fuel pump, 4 vane pumps, then MagnaFlow, 5 vane and now the PE, 7 vane pump

All great pumps mentioned above.
Weldon Fuel Pumps by far is the best Pump out there and offers service second to none in the industry and a LIFETIME warranty and that's hard to beat. Just go to their website
(http://www.weldonracing.com/) and read the brief on the New Sportsman Pump. If your from division 1 then calll Ken Moses as He can answer any questions you may have or Just call Weldon and ask for Jim Craig.

1320racer,
I have spoken to John as well.
He comes highly recommended by some good carb builders.
What pump and filter of his have you tried or currently use?
I am concidering on upgrading to his product.

I run the PE 4450 combo pump and filter in my Firebird feeding 900+HP and ran the PE 4300 and his inline filter in my Chevelle with 700+HP under the hood.

Thanks,
I am looking at the 4510 combo with filter.
