    electric fuel pump pressure & l/p min ?

    Hi all, its been a while since my last post, Happy New Year to all. I have a S3 Landy with a 186 running a stromberg carbie and an electric fuel pump. My questions are what pressure and L/P min would the fuel pump be as there are no markings on it that I can see. The standard mechanical Holden pump is 3 - 4.5 ponds of pressure (not sure how many L/P min). I'm thinking of buying a spare pump as a back up. The one on it now works fine - no sighns of fuel starvation or flooding A replacement electric pump I've found is 4-6 ponds of pressure 130 L/Pmin MAX. I have been told this size pump would be ok for a 186. What do you think guy?? Best regards Eddie.

    7psi max 1l/min is more than enough.

    130 L per min would probably cope with a jumbo jet taking off. 130 L per hour would be fine for a 186, a 351, whatever.
