I have a 88 YJ with a Chevy 350 TBI in it. I had been running a Carter fuel pump designed for fuel injection and it has only lasted about a year and a half now. My question is to the guys running TBI in your Jeeps, what kind of fuel pump are you running and how has it held up.

I have only run them onroad... But ran with filters before and after them...
If I upgrade to V-8 I will run 2 before and one after... System One has a pre filter / filter set up that I like... But would have to say trash is killing the pump you have so would look that way...
Only and idea...

I have filters in front and behind the pump also and they were clean. I even made sure to mount the pump as low as possible and to the back of the Jeep, so it is pushing not pulling. Does anyone know if a 92-95 sending unit will fit in a 87-91 tank. I don't know if that is a option or not. I can see the wife start to get alittle ticked if I start buying fuel pumps about every 18 months. Thanks for the input guys, it all helps.

what PSI is that pump pushing?, GM TBI's only run 9-13 PSI if your pump is trying to feed it more than it can handle, that might be a cause.

it also could be you just got a bad pump

I remember orderly a fuel pump for fuel injection. I don't remember the psi they said it was. Maybe it just was enough or alittle to much pressure and burned it up. I will have to get on Jegs and look up my old pump to see what the psi was. I never had problems then went out one morning and it was out. Just barely enough fuel pressure to start the engine. I might go with another kind if that was to low or to high. Keep coming with the help, lord knows I need it.

well too low of fuel preasure wouldn't have hurt the pump, just engine performance.

You are right, after I posted that I realized what I said about low pressure. I guess running all the different reasons why the pump could go out, my brain is just running crazy. Between here and the other people I have talked to, it's starting to sound like just a bad pump. I just hate dumping another 100.00 if it is something I'm doing wrong. Once again thanks for the input 98XJeep. I am going to take your advise and double check the old pumps psi before I buy another one.

Carter pumps are junk anyway... I went threw 3 in one month on my old flatbed....

I starting to think the same thing.

mikes139

Have you had any problems with Delphi pumps. This Jeep is my daily driver, so it is used alot.

Carter pumps has never been good when I used it...
This one is a really bad option...

mikes139

That is what everyone seems to be saying. I'm not going with doing that again.

I put on a Holley E.F.I. fuel pump on the Jeep today. Seems to be doing fine. Thanks for everyones input.
