I also have none of these issues..for now at least and im running a Walbro 255 inline..Its not as loud as i thought but its insulated in the foam sleeve that it came with..I mounted it next to the fuel filter..ran the extra fuel line..and wired it up via the stock intank pump..So far so good
Pros: not as loud as thought
i have a 255 lph intank from a 5.0 mustang and have none of these problems only issue i have is the car takes a few cranks to start because there is no check valve on the pump
Pros: none of these problems
Cons: few cranks to start
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
mine was a direct swap. i kept the stock housing and replaced the pump on the inside. took me about 20 mins to do it the first time...
Pros: direct swap, easy install
Vehicle:
Audi S4
when it was getting low, yes you can tell because it would misfire up high(just like my fuel cell). However there is absolutely nothing different on the casing, which holds the fuel level sending unit.
Pros: nothing different on casing
Cons: misfire up high
oh its some fun getting the screw cap back on the tank. the problem is a stock pump the line sits horizontal and with the walbro it sits vertical. it requires some force and patience to get it in.
Pros: vertical line sits
Cons: requires force, patience
Fuel-pump... intank Walbro 255lph gave it all up today as well.. i knew this was gonna happen so i alway drive with one extra stock pump just in case.. been there b4.. I can now feel a bit diffret performance with th stock pump and this setup... Car runs more rough in the engine.. and jerks sometime.. i don't even think the stock pump is good to handle 100% 95 octane fuel.. i recommend over and over dimensioned when touching 300hp... on 95 octane... The inline walbro solution should be good.. as mentioned b4 in this forum.. I have an Bosch 044 in the garage that im gonna try in tank. Think the intank walbro runns fine with E85 if you run 150hp.. but with 300hp.. it have to work the as off to deliver E85.. with poor lubrication
Pros: fine for 150hp E85
Cons: failed at 300hp E85, poor lubrication
