Hi, my name is Tony Schapendonk, long time member.

I would like to create a new post about the process of installing an electrical fuel pump in parallel with a mechanical one.

There was an article in the VDC magazine some years ago, but I cannot find it.

I have a 1932 Hillman Wizard which has a mechanical fuel pump and an updraft carby which is unreliable.

The carby fuel evaporates pretty quickly, and I have to manually fill it before starting, or have to crank it over a lot before the bowl fills.

Has anyone successfully put an electrical one in parallel.

I understand one of the problems can be putting pressure on the mechanical diaphragm, and getting into the crankcase.

Regards,
