[TR] Electrical &/or Mechanical Fuel Pumps

[Cosmo Kramer]

Hi List!
I just got back on the digest list  after being off of it since July
'07, so Hi to EVERYONE! 

I have a question about installing an electric fuel
pump into my TR4A. I have had some people's input, but I'm still in question
on this topic. 

I had trouble when driving out to VTR'09 & I belief it was
some form of 'vapor lock'? Now, I don't know if the Ethanol gas was the cause
on the manual diaphragm's failure, was a factor in lowering the boiling point
of the gas to increase the chance of getting 'vapor lock', or a combination of
both?Though I'm reluctant to install an Electric Fuel Pump (EFP), I'm thinking
that if I had one installed, then I may not have had the fuel problems that I
did. (A long story & would be willing to send you my story as I have written
in my daily journal when I arrive home on 10-20-2009. E-mail me off the list
if you want it.)

What's the condenses of the lst on this:
1. To install an
EFP or not?
2. To install the EFP only or with the Manual Fuel Pump, too?
3.
IF I do have BOTH fuel pumps installed, then should they be in series or
parallel.
4. How would you advise the installation should be if in:
A. Series?
B. Parallel?

I already have a stop cock right AFTERthe fuel cell & another
one BEFOREthe Manual Fuel Pump. So take the routing from the stop cock after
the fuel cell to the carb'sfloat bowels.

PS- It was great
meeting new faces at VTR '09, & I wish that I could have made it out there in
my TR4A.
