Carter Fuel Systems Electric Fuel Pump Automotive Replacement 12V (P4594)

This pump is very quiet compared to the Holley pump I had on before. My application is a 1969 Ford Mustang, strong street 347 stroker engine with carburetor and OEM gas tank. I decided to go with an electric pump to try to overcome a vapor lock issue I was having, especially with the high temperatures here in Florida. I chose a Holley Sniper low pressure pump and found it was excessively loud and annoying even after I used isolation materials. I read that the Carter pump was known for being relatively quiet. I had made a mounting bracket for the Holley that I easily modified it for this Carter pump. It easily plumbed into fuel line although I had to cut out a small section of the metal line with a tubing cutter. Wiring was not a problem but, the hoods that are included for the electrical terminals were a little difficult to install with the clips and retainer provided, but I warmed them up with a heat gun to help seat them on the boss. So far I love it, if I see problems as others have reported, I will update my review, otherwise I highly recommend this electric fuel pump if you need to go that route.

As I expected I had to custom fit it as I was replacing a mechanical pump on a 58 Bonneville. I mounted it under the battery tray about even height with the gas tank. It pumps with plenty of power and I added pressure regulator. Nice and quiet too. Well it only lasted a few months and I had to replace with the back-up pump That I bought just in case. That's working so far but I do not trust it. I'm going back to a mechanical I just found on E-Bay.

Do not buy waste of $60 and its hard to return it. Manufacture forgot to tap the bolts on the motor , I don't want to have to buy a tap and die set just for this I cross reference the part number and they have it in stock at O'Reilly Auto Parts with very good warranty , I live in the RV park so I don't have a printer or a computer which makes it hard for me to return it because you cannot return it like regular like Amazon there is no drop off option you have to print a damn label

The pump came with everything you need to get started - pump, mounting kit including rubber isolators to reduce noise, fittings, clamps, wiring ends. I’ve wired mine to a Painless fuel pump relay kit and a Carter oil pressure switch for safety, which made for an easy install. I added in a momentary switch in line to the pump to assist with hot starts, a problem I was having with my truck.The pump itself isn’t terribly loud especially for an externally mounted pump. With it on and engine off, you’ll hear it, but it’s not incredibly noisy by any means. Once my 460 is running, there’s no chance you can hear it unless you get close enough to it.

I have used this pump in the past when it was a U.S.A made product and ran it for over a decade with no issues. Its output is in the 6-8 PSI range and will likely need a pressure regulator. The Holley 4776 4bbl carb I have could not reliably hand this pressure on a street driven 1965 Mustang 289. 3-4 psi seems to work well for street use. Be careful when choosing a regulator. Make sure the regulator can handle an input pressure of 8-9 PSI to insure proper operation of the regulator and avoid damage to the regulator. Time will tell if this Carter pumps lasts as long as the last one I had.

Put this on my truck after converting from mechanical to electric. I've used Edelbrock pumps and "no name" pumps from amazon. This is the only dependable pump. Its on a 300 hp ford 390. Delivers 5psi. Carb is a 650 edelbrock so a perfect match to the carb manufacturer requirements.

It’s working fine in my engine “Volvo Penta 5.7” with no issue.I never felt the engine being thirsty for more fuel since I have it installed.Quality seem alright but I can make comment in this further in and after one year

I have 3 idi ford diesels use this to replace the lift pump. They all start without priming now after sitting. great purchase.
