Got into a discussion last night belt driven or electric fuel pump on gas dragster ? pro's and con's. | ||

Both work well as long as they are good ones and set up right. I highly recommend a return style regulator no matter what you go with. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Our products are not designed for ED, they are designed for COMPETITIVE RACERS" A Narcissist with Small Man Syndrome and he thinks he is a Winner. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

My two cents. I like my belt drive pump, was on alky, now on gas. However, after you change jets or if the car sits a long time then you have to crank a while to fill the bowls. I solved that problem by using the Facet pump that was on my Primer Plus set up when I was on alky and tied it into the fuel regulator. Now I just turn it on till the bowls are full.

Good topic......I've always used a magnafuel 500 electric pump, pumping Q16, this winter I've made the switch to a belt driven pump. Thinking it should be a large savings of battery voltage.....we'll have to see the outcome.....Howie | |||

After running internal bypass belt pumps it's would be hard to go back to electric pumps. I got a science lab bottle from Grainger to fill the bowls I just take out a top bowl screw and fill it up. Denis LeBlanc | |||

You know you could fill it through the vent tube and not have to take any screws out. | |||

I have a flat scoop tray. It would be a pain to fill the bowls and my vent tubes are tied together so that’s a no go also. The little Facet pump works great. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am....... | |||

Definitely a return system, always wonder about belt drive pumps and there fuel inlet not being as low as the outlet of the fuel cell. | |||

Plenty of gravity feed especially on a dragster with a cell in front of the motor. We even have two mid 9 second door cars with rear cells and belt pumps. Denis LeBlanc | |||

My belt pump is mounted on the crank trigger bracket and is lower than my fuel tank. The tank is behind the seat and it is a return system. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Here I am....... | |||

So it really not rocket science. Both work fine and both have pro's and con's. Pick your poison. I have used both and when running NOS, why have two, electric is the only way to go. Never used a bypass regulator either, why? Pump has a bypass and no need for that extra plumbing. | |||

Swap the belt drive pump and put an alternator where the pump was would work also. | |||
