<< Has anyone any experience with a backup fuel pump that could be
mounted at the carburetter feed point? >>
UNfortunately, yes Alex. When one has a shop, one gets ALL kinds
of "odd" things in the door to make lots of 'found' money <G> !
<< The reason I ask is that a friend who runs a British car shop nearby
says one of the small pumps can be installed at the fuel line where it
feeds the float chambers. >>
Yep, can be done. But let me ask you something; if it was such a
"good" idea, don't you think you would see LOTS of LBCs set up
that way [and from the Factory, at that] ?!?
<< Will a low pressure Facet (or similar) pump pull all the way from the
petrol tank, and through the SU as well? >>
Another "Yep" !! BUT the 'pump' has to be a "puller" type, NOT
a "pusher" as most stock arrangements are.
NAPA would prolly have to order, if they can get.
