he was right. sending unit failure essentially disappeared and all the hysterisis in the data disappeared.

Steve,its a pic of my set up off my motor,never had a fuel press sending unit problem to date,sounds like your idea would help dampen the pulses though which could help if there was a problem.Smitty

Thanks

I don't get any bounce on my gauge BUT I'm sending fuel from my pump thru a large cooler thru -10 hose to regulator,goes thru full port fittings to twin -8 hoses to rail then bleeding off extra fuel back to inlet side of water seperator/filter so there is probably alot of dampening effect from the hoses and distance between fuel pump,Smitty

I'm with mbjm, weldon 600a for a 650 hp 540.
Pump works great, absolutely no problems in 3 years.

mbj, does your pump have the Japanese writing on the back?I asked the place I bought mine from about it, kiddingly asked if all weldon pumps were made in Japan. They (Kinsler fuel injection) said that they asked weldon about it and weldon said that it said "made in America". THose guys at weldon make great pumps AND have a sense of humor!
