Fuel Pump Re-wire Necessary? Testing Video Inside
Before I install the walbro fuel pump I wanted to test how much voltage drops to the stock fuel pump and if a re-wire was necessary. So, I made a little video of how I did it and wanted to share the results with you all.
In short, there was about a 0.5 V drop across the harness. This was at a light electrical load with no lights on, no radio, no ac/heater/fan, etc. I may do another test later to see how much voltage drops with all these systems on. |
I mean... I'd rewire it... It's ancient wiring. Wouldn't you prefer the peace of mind that you've got healthy power and ground being supplied? Considering if it takes a turn for the worst when you're having fun with the car, it'll go kaboom and ruin your day.

Id say its fine. Half volt is ok.

I ran a new + wire to the fuel pump, just in case, didnt really measure the voltage before or after, but while working with all the wiring in the car, basically all my body wires are quite bad, not enough current to properly move windows/sunroof and so on. Corroded inside.
