So just finished mounting new fuel tank, new 3/8" pickup/sender and new Carter P4070 electric fuel pump.
Worked great for about 15 min and pump decided to quit. Checked it over, seems electric motor is up the creek. Meter reads 20 - 30 k ohms and not steady.
Just chatted with Summit customer service guy. He reckons in 15 years there, he's never seen/heard one of these fail. Made me feel so lucky!? Oh well, he is sending another to me now.
My question -
I do plan on running a 1/4" return line with 0.050" orifice back to tank later. Is a return line a strict necessity with electric pumps or just a "nice to have" to prevent vapor lock? The Carter instructions do not mention a return line at all.
