I just inquired about one at knekts, i'm not getting fuel to filter on my sr5. Car has sat for 5+ years and diaphram in pump may be shot. Pump can mount just before mechanical fuel pump, pressure moves fuel through pumps lines. Some I was told remove the fp and cover hole and run straight to carb. I was told you just have to wire a toggle switch to it, from that a ground and lead to positive battery terminal. Friend/mechanic says hes installed a few and hasnt been impressed so I've been hesitant. I'll ask him what the set backs were again but i think something about delivery at higher rpm?

SR5 to GTS swap and keeping the SR5 tank? Or just using an inline fuel pump on your 4AC?


I ran a Mr Gasket 12S when I had the 4AC. Worked flawlessy. All you do is find a good place to mount it, ground out the black wire, take the red wire and install an inline fuse holder and switch, then wire it to the battery. I used a 10 amp fuse.

For an inline for an SR5 to GTS swap, you can use a Walbro 190lph, then switch your fuel return line (smallest line) for the fuel vapor (middle sized one) that way your return line can actually flow enough.
