Does the fuel pump pulsator look like the top of an old school master cyclinder, metal and two humps on the top? I have a part the is press fit inbetween the pump and hard line in the tank and one sid of it looks like I discribed above. The reason I ask is I am having fuel pressure issues with my current walbro pump and think that I am going to replace that piece with a EFI ruber line with two hose clamps.

 

Yes, sometimes referred to as the turtle.

do i even need this thing? upon mounting my new pump it didnt want to fit right. seemed like it would leak.

 

Common for them to leak. It is better with the pulsator in place. However, due to leak issues it is common to replace them with a piece of hose and clamps. Hose needs to be submerge-able type. I have the spec here, hang on. . . Here it is: SAE J30R10

And use good hose clamps. No fun having the hose split or slip off.

the pump i got came w/ a hose and clamps in case my car was the w/o pulsator type.

why is it better w/ it in place. it really doesnt do anything but quite the pump alittle. b4 my pump went i could not even here it come on to prime the fuel system.

has anyone removed them and had success? if i need it ill keep it, but the way it fits w/ the new pump makes me unconfortable for it to fall off or leak b/c of a bad seal.

 

need to know if i should keep it or toss it? tank going back in this weekend.

 

I replaced it with the rubber hose that came with the walbro pump...... No problems thus far.

 

Every Walbro pump I've put in my cars, I have removed the pulsator. Fuel pump sounds a little louder; that was the only drawback I have seen to speak of.
