Facet Fuel Pump Installation Forums

My '66 came to me with a Facet fuel pump. I am having tuning problems and the car behaves like it is not getting enough fuel. I checked a parts catalog and the facet is listed for 912/914 with carbs, not 911. Fuel Regulator On Facet Fuel Pump. Started by brad-the-bear, Apr 01 2014 07:59 PM. This is your car. Do as you want with the installation but do follow the pump manufacturer's recommendations to achieve good results and acceptable pump life. Back to top; Back to Problems. The Mini Forum.

Pics Wiring 12V Facet fuel pump w/ relay.
Hi This is pics of wiring for hooking up a 12V facet fuel pump I use for assisting lift pump to pull WVO up to the IP.
DISCONNECT BATTERY AFTER YOU FIND YOUR HOT WIRE FROM FUSE BOX.
pic 1) Is just a hot wire coming out of the fuse box. Any one that works once the key is ON.
This wire connects to the relay switch.
pic # 2) Seperate wire connects to 'this thing' near the battery; the middle screw inside this clip holds it in.
Ran from here to a relay switch. IMPORTANT TO INSTALL A FUSE LINK IN THIS WIRE. 12w FUSE SHOULD DO.
A relay has 4 conections. 1 for this hot wire from the little box next to the battery. 2. from the wire from the fuse box. 3 for power to the hot wire of your new pump. 4 to a ground. (mine is in pic 3 on the air intake screw up front.)
pic 3) Is a simple relay switch from the AP store; connected to my coolant resevoir. (follow directions for connections on the switch box; or see above...)
pic 4) Is the pump mounted under the rear pass side; It is mounted to the frame here with 2 fat screws into already existing holes on this support frame. When you look under here you will see lots of these holes to choose from. I also grounded to the frame from the pump.
pic 5....just the front end of an ol' 300D with it's proud HIgh mileage badge!!!!

    Facet Electric Fuel Pumps

    When I get this pump, I will post back if a Facet number is stamped on the pump as 40288. If so, then exactly the same pump. Then I could simply copy the label and relabel a 40288 as Seachoice, which is exactly what Seachoice did, if I need another. I fitted a Facet pump, remote fuel filter & a pressure limiter all in the space to the right of the fuel tank. It all fits in there quite nicely & the pump is fixed to the rear wheel arch via the rubber mounts that were supplied with it. A Facet pump will rattle away all the time whether it is sucking fuel, air, or against a clog so continual running is not an indication of anything other than it is getting power and has a good ground. Original pump bracket Will supply installation instructions & better photo's over next few days. I'm I going to try the Facet fuel pump https. Forums > VFR Generations > 1st & 2nd Generation 1983-1989 > Welcome to VFRworld. Join now, it's fast. I'm adding a Facet fuel pump to my 74B as suggested by Dave DuBois (thanks, Dave, for the idea!).
