Hey everyone, I bought the 255LPH fuel pump sender kit and the Racetronix hotwire harness probably a little less than 2 years ago. Put approximately 500 miles on it before I parked the car and stripped and rebuilt the entire interior. Got it back together last summer and drove it another 100 miles or so before I couldn't get it started. Had zero fuel pressure. Towed it home and haven't had time to touch the car until this weekend. So I dropped the tank, pulled the fuel line, submerged the assembly and fed power to the pump. Not a drop comes out the fuel line.
I had drained the fuel tank prior to starting the interior restoration, so there was no old fuel sitting in there to cause problems. After the interior went back together I did switch over to E85, but the kit is E85 compatible so I don't attribute that to any kind of cause of failure.
Has anyone seen a Racetronix pump fail after so few miles? I was kinda shocked since this pump was working perfect right up until it failed. It still powers on and I can hear it hum, but it simply won't feed fuel at all. Isolating the pump for my test eliminated every other possibility of plugged fuel filters, lines, etc.
At this point I'm not sure if I want to go with the replacement Racetronix pump, or switch it with a Walbro or something else. Anyone have recommendations?
