Jason----What pump are you running?

I met Jeff Stacy from Aeromotive @ last years PRI. His product knowlege and the quality of they're fuel components convinced our sponsor to use they're product line.

Areomotive suggested to us that we use "micron filters" on all our fuel systems as opposed to paper or element filters. The additives contained in "race fuels" can breakdown the paper filters and the adheisives used to hold them together, thus contaminating your carburator or fuel injection system. Makes sense!

I've got (2) bad BG 400 pumps and a 2-port regulator.
BG wont sell rebuild kits, they want you to send them back to them!
They're stuff seems to self destruct after a few seasons!

I've heard from other racers about having to send remanufactured BG products back a second time!

Mark, buy the Aeromotive stuff, your fuel distribution problems will go away!

I have a pump for EFI (running at 60psi), maybe give them a call and see what they recommend. I believe I talked to Kyle last time. Also running a before/after filter.

I have had tremendous luck withe MagnaFuel stuff. Its quiet, less vibration, more consistent pressure. Its field serviceable, and at a reasonable clost, even the brushes are replaceable without dissassembling the unit

This past week end at arace in georiga we had the one on our super gas car go bad after a first round win but could not make the call for round 2 cause the reg. hung up and filled the motor with fuel and the motor would not turn over bg stuff is junk it is now all areomotive all around even my stocker The people at areomotive were great to talk to and tell me witch stuff i needed for each diff. car that we have.

Magnafuel and Aeromotive BOTH are tied as the best fuel pump companies out there. Have had the magnafuel pump and regulator excuse me pressure control unit (thats what they call it) on my car now 3 years with out a bit of problems. One thing i would do if you get the magnafuel and run 16 volt system is turn the bypass pressure down some.

Check online. I bought a rebuild kit for my BG280 on ebay for 20 bucks. I run a BG return style regulator and i've never had a problem. The pump its constructed like an oversize holley "blue" but its never let me down. I personally like the Mallory 140/250 style pumps and regulators. And the pump itself is a good piece...bearings no bushing.

I thought I would try to add some humor to this. Mail just came a few minutes ago and there was the Oct 3 issue of Natl. Dragster. When you all get yours look at the back cover its a Barry Grant ad and at the top it reads "Throw-Away" or Race today? They must be talking about throwing away their pump so we can go racing. LOL!
