Product Review: Fueling Your Car | Fuelab & Walbro
Every hard working horse is thirsty and keeping them all well hydrated is important to keep them at their top performance. Your factory fuel pump can only handle just a little past what the factory power level of the car is. Even more importantly if it is a turbo charged car, every pound of boost is around an extra psi that the fuel pump has to push out. Increasing your stock boost sometimes even 5 psi over, many cars stock fuel pump will not be able to keep up with the demand of fuel the engine needs. Fuel delivery is very important as you cannot make power without a bigger boom in the combustion chamber. When using nitrous, an extra amount of fuel is needed and without the right mixture of fuel and nitrous, there can be some irreversible damage. Walbro and Fuel Lab have great products to help keep your engine hydrated during tough conditions. Find out which one is the best for your application.

Fuelab has created some outstanding fuel pumps that can handle very high horsepower and fuel demanding

engines. Their in line fuel pumps are easy to install and look great. One of the nice things about having an in line fuel pump is that it’s easy to service and you don’t have as many mounting issues inside the fuel tank. Their Prodigy fuel pumps are able to handle from anywhere around 700 to an incredible 1800 horsepower! With those kinds of numbers, most tuners will definitely have more than enough fuel supply to power their engines with. No matter what kind of fuel you are using you are safe with the Prodigy pumps because they are compatible with gasoline, diesel, methanol and ethanol. Many say that in-line fuel pumps are very loud, but Fuelab has taken care of this problem by making the housing in a special way that it makes very little noise. Fuelab has confidence in their product as they hold a warranty for 2 years. One of the great features is that the fuel pumps do not need any fuel pump controllers; the variable internal speed controller takes care of all the work. There are both applications for carborated and fuel injected engines. Whatever the demand is, Fuelab has the hardware to get it done.  Fuel Lab fuel pumps product link

Fuelab also has a great line of fuel pressure regulators. Keeping a consistent fuel pressure is important to feed the fuel injectors just the right amount of fuel at all times. Once you have a stronger fuel pump the stock fuel pressure regulator has a hard time evenly distributing a consistent amount of pressure, thus throwing off your fuel delivery. These units are small and easy to install in tight places. Not only do they regulate your fuel flow and fit anywhere they also add to your looks as they are very elegant looking regulators. They have different sizes to accommodate for the different types of setups and fuel demands.

No one ever really knows how clean fuel is coming out of the pump. The only real way to protect yourself against dirt and sludge is through a good fuel filter. Fuelab has come up with easy install and great flowing in-line fuel filters. They look great so you can mount them in your trunk or sometimes in the engine bay itself. The filter is an aluminum cylindrical housing and inside it contains a replaceable filter element for easy maintenance. The filter elements are very free flowing and create a minimal pressure drop. Keeping an eye on your temperature and oil pressure is just as important as watching

your fuel pressure. A loss of fuel pressure can cause major damage to your engine and the driver needs to be able to monitor the pressure all the time. Having an accurate gauge is important so the driver does not get false information that can lead to unnecessary repairs or worries. Fuelabs fuel pressure gauges are high quality and very accurate to keep you updated on fuel pressure. Finding out you have a pressure drop or that your fuel system is unable to deliver enough fuel to the engine is very critical to the engines life and performance.

Walbro fuel pumps are another popular way to upgrade the fuel system. Most tuners that are under the 500 horse power range go with the Walbro LPH 255 fuel pump. It is very easy to install and comes at a very affordable price. Walbro makes these pumps for most cars as its popularity grows. For the high horsepower population there is an option to combine 2 Walbro pumps and have the ability to run around 1000 horsepower without any fuel delivery problems. These pumps are compact and easy to mount in original locations. Many users claim very good things about Walbro and are very happy even after years of use in their sports cars.

Keeping your engine healthy is critical by giving it the right fuel supply. If you have a car that you are tuning which has some miles or years on it with an original fuel pump, it is not a bad time to think about something newer to ensure that the old tired pump won’t fail on you. Fuelab and Walbro have worked hard to provide you with fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulators, fuel filters, and everything in between to give you what you need to keep the fuel flowing. Not only does good fuel delivery come with the benefits of safe engine conditions, but opens up new doors to more boost and higher output that would not be possible with the weak stock fuel pump. It’s time to stop giving the monster under the hood teaspoons and instead soak it with a fire hose!
