not sure... but most people use a pressure regulator with all fuel pumps..
makes the needle & seat work with less pressure..

He just found out Lee and we've already got one on order..........BTW my son Mick uses my login:rolleyes:

many of the pumps only go to 10 psi

but as You only need 3-4 psi...

its better to have a regulator...

My pump runs at over 8PSI. I needed a regulator. Bad things happened.

Several pumps to choose from.

So, If You have bought a 40104 pump You will have no worries..

I did have one of these before gave it to My son..
Not sure which one it was..??

they all look the same though...

All of this has prompted me to try reviving my old leaky mech pump. I think the casting is warped or something. My facet knockoff is closest to the 40107. If the reg goes funny all hell breaks loose. My Weber has a fit!

It's funny what you find out even when you think you've done a thorough investigation. When I ordered the pump a couple of years back I distinctly remember checking on pressures and making sure it was the equivalent to the standard mechanical pump which I had been assured it was and remember being told that Facet only made one, now Mackaymanx has destroyed all my previous notions. I will crawl under my sons car and see if I can find a bloody number even though I've already ordered a fuel pressure reg. for it:mad:
