noob question walbro 450lph

[gtproto]

Does the walbro 450lph pump drop right in or do i need to modify something?

A little yes a lilttle no, it's identical to a Warlboro 255 except for the fuel feed portion. The 450 has a long piece coming out the top of it where it feeds fuel to the hose. If my memory serves correct you'll have to mount it lower and you might have to cut the bevel part under the sending unit off to connect your rubber hose.

It's nothing like a 255. The bottom of them is about twice the diameter. What I did was cut the fuel tube shorter, and used a piece of ethanol safe hose, and fuel injection clamps. For the bottom, I cut the bottom of the hanger off, and used a worm clamp to secure the pump to what was left of the pump bracket.

Good point I forgot about the bottom being bigger. To the OP are you trying to just drop it in real fast or do you have some time to work with it. If you have a little time and money go AN fittings and be done with it. You will have to take the bottom of the sending unit out I forgot about that part.

Do something like this.



Then your good to go.

No problem but make sure you do like donniekak and get a proper hose for the fuel tank I believe you can find it a NAPA. You need submersible and E-85 safe hose.
