Fuel Pump

[SVOconvLX85]

I noticed the other day that their was a hiss when I got out of the car. It was really loud and I thought it was a tire leaking. As I got closer, I noticed that it was the external fuel pump on my SVO. It is the higher rate pump and I was just wondering if anyone knows what is making the thing still run. Is it in the ignition. This is probably why I go through a lot of gas.

Another thing, on the SVO's, can I just get a 255 lph pump and mount it in the tank and delete the external one? Or maybe justa 5.0 in-tank pump will do? Any suggestions? Thanks

Well I can't help on the other part of this but I do know you can replace the external pump with a intank pump. From what I understand the fuel pumps amd FPR are the same on a 2.3L and 5.0L. I would either run a 190 ro a 255 lp, I think a 255 will need a adjustable FPR. If I remember also that a 190 will support 350 hp and may not need a adjustable FPR. I got a chart on it some where and will post it when I find it. When you go to replace the intank pump you will need to run a different ground but I'm not sure how its done. Check out SVOCA they got a few post on this. Now when you go to tank that brass lid off the fuel tank becareful because sparks could well I'm sure you can figure that out Here is a link and hope it works.

The stock fuel pump on my '89 2.3 is loud as hell. That thing whines.

Nope...no fuel pump requires an adjustable regulator.
