Mechanical fuel pumps VS electric
 
Have 800hp blower morors and need input on mechanical fuel pumps. Has anyone tried a Race Pumps brand mechanical pump. The fuel system the boat came with consists of Holley blues of which I have no faith in. There is piping and fittings that where once used for a return to the tank fuel system but have been capped off?

Which ones are marine rated and CG certified? If you value your insurance these are important questions.

Do you have any more info on these pumps? I would like to upgrade to a mechanical as well but I will need a gen 4(in the block) and a gen 5(in the water pump housing).Do they make them in both styles and whats the pressure and flow rate?

Thanks Nordic95

i was wondering the same, what are the advantages/disadvantages of mechanicals vs electric, im running a similair setup with blowers also, and need to do my fuel system, with a electric do i need a return line going into the tank?

Unless you dont mind buying pumps, always run a return line.....
