Hi fellas,

Can anyone recommend an electric fuel pump for my 59 F100?

The truck has the Stock fuel system that has been all renewed, but I’m having starting problems when I crank it up. It can be weeks/months between drives and I’m having to crank the engine for 15-20 seconds before the mechanical pump (new) gets fuel up to the carb. (New fuel lines, mech pump, filter, carb). It starts fine the next day after driving, just when I leave it for long periods.

I have the factory tank behind the seat with the fuel pipe that comes in the top. What I have read is that electric pumps push fuel not pull, so just wondering if anyone has used a electric pump with success in this type of application?

This is what I’m looking at-






Thanks, Dennis.
