1950-1979 Electric Fuel Pump 12 Volt 1.5 to 4 PSI with Fitting and Clamps
Upgrade your Air Cooled Volkswagen fuel system with this EMPI 12-volt solid state electric fuel pump — 1.5 to 4.0 PSI line pressure, heavy duty metal case, and ideal for carburetor applications.
A solid state electric fuel pump is one of the most practical upgrades for an Air Cooled VW — easier starting, more consistent fuel delivery, and the reliability of solid state 12-volt circuitry over a mechanical pump that depends on the camshaft. This EMPI electric fuel pump is rated at 1.5 to 4.0 PSI line pressure for correct carburetor application use and features a heavy duty metal case built for long-term reliable service.
Includes fitting and clamps for installation. Note — it is highly recommended that a fuel pressure regulator be used with any electric pump on a carburetor application to maintain correct line pressure and protect the carburetor needle valve.

Add a fuel pressure regulator for carburetor applications and the fuel system delivers correctly every time you turn the key.
