What pump are you all using? From what vehicle, year, etc.?

does the pump have the quick connects for the fuel lines or is it a NPT thread/AN thread?

Most of the ones I've seen have the barbed "quck connect" type connections, not threaded...


Oh yeah, and I don't feel like spending the $200+ for ones from summit, etc. when I know the e2000 from Autozone will work great
 
I have a 1986 Bronco II and it has one, so went to the junk yard and spent $20 and bought one from a Bronco II. It has the quick connect ends on it.
 
Yes, then rubber line to the tank and steel line to the front.

(I should mention this is on an early Bronco with a Mustang 5.0 motor)
 
I'm running an E2000 pump on both of my off road vehicles. I am using high pressure fuel injection rubber hose from the parts store with fuel injection hose clamps(smooth bore). No problems.
 
hose clamps on the HP fuel line? seems a little ify, but if it works, why not

I know most engines have a stainless hard line up around the eninges and most have a barbed end on those as well. Everyone running factory lines here as well or something else?
 
I found the E8248 fuel pump and have decided on that. I called my local atuo wholesale distributor and he can't find a listing for it.

Does anyone have an application for this or a different part number? I found the part online at autozone but no applications are listed. Is it a universal pump?

Thanks.

Yep, doubled up at every joint. Not the regular style hose clamps with the slots for the worm gear to pull against. The ones I am using are for FI hose.

They look like this:

Bought em at the Zone or Advance, can't remember.
 
My pump is for an '89 F150 application, it's a Bosch part. The fittings are barbed, and I use the rubber fuel injection fuel hoses with the same clamps mentioned above.
 
I will throw out my general warning on these pumps...

I have replaced more of these then I care to remember. The factory setup (at least for the 5.8 Ford pickup application I sourced the E2000 from) has a pusher pump in the tank and uses the E2000 to boost the pressure for fuel injection.

Without that head pressure, they burn up for me.

I went through 3 on my Jeep, 2 on a friends, 3 on the buggy, and have seen countless others failed or failing.

It got so bad I carried a spare.

I tried mounting it below the tank, with a pre filter, without a pre filter, everything anyone had advice on how to make it better, and they still failed.

I have been running a stock Mustang in tank fuel pump for years after the e2000 disaster and have never had another problem.

I just cut off the end of the CJ pickup, hose clamped on the pump, and dropped it in the tank.
 
Both my Rangers and my B2 all had/have the factory E2000 pump along with a second in tank pump to initally feed the fuel to it. As gavan stated I have seen a number of people that have hadd issues with these pumps burning up quickly when ran without the in tank pump. If you can get a factory in tank pump for one of the Rangers/B2's it is real easy to add on to your existing in tank pickup. I can snap a picture of the factory setup when I get home this evening if you want.

This is just a link to AZ's stock photo of the Ranger in tank setup

I've read horror stories of the E2000. Thats why I'm now looking for the E8248, which seems to be a better fit. People that have had issues with the E2000 switched to the E8248 and voila! no more problems.

The external pump seems to be much easier to work with than an internal pump. my tank will be custom made and the external just seems to be easier to work with. Plus I want something I can get at any parts store shall one fail while riding out of town.
 
You guys running the e2000, do you also run an in-tank pump? The e2000 is a secondary pump for the system, which may be a reason why people are having so much trouble with them...
 
No pusher pusher here... just need the E2000 (rated at what, 90+psi) to feed the TB 15#... shouldn't stress it too much and at $30 bucks, can afford to keep 2 more for the price of the others... you scared? :lol:
 
I just know that the e2000 is a secondary pump on the vehicles it came off of. just wondering if it will last as a primary pump. I've read some having issues and others that swear by them...
 
Rob,
I run an E2000 with a check valve in front of it. That way it stays primed...it has 3 years on it and rocking strong. i did burn 2 up before installing the check valve fwiw.
 
excuse my ignorance, check valve between the pump and engine or tank and pump? too many beers to be able to think straight! :D

my guess is between tank and pump

you got it.

idea came from diesel generators.
For some reason many oems dont include a check valve and teh fuel drains back into the tank and delays a start....I had a check valve lieing around and tried it....

Maybe I just finally got a good pump who knows
 
I think since they were intended for apps with a pusher pump, as a pusher pump, that the only way they could survive would maybe in a sumped tank application, where it has fuel readily available. They were not intended to "suck" fuel, this is not fact, merely my opinion though. They are indeed a pressure pump though, the in tank was a volume pump. The key is, it needs supply.

Did alot of research back in my turbo ford car days. The general consensus there was to eliminate the rail pump and put a walbro 255 in the tank. But they were having to fuel for boost, and lots of it, so I don't think if setup properly that we could run out of fuel from an e2000.

No, for both of my rigs. I haven't had a problem with either of my E2000's.

When I installed the pump on my Samurai, I had a hard time getting the pump to start pumping fuel. I stuck my air compressor hose with a rag around it in the fuel filler to pressurize the tank to push fuel up to the pump. So some of what you guys are talking about here makes sense with the need for a pusher pump. I guess I will run them till they fail then see if I feel like changing to something else. I need to buy a spare and keep it in my tow rig.

I've got two stock carter ctd lift pumps sitting around, you think they would have any problem with gasoline? I do like the check valve idea.
 
sorry for the shitty pics...they looked alot better when I was taking them.
