[QUOTE="Tigerhaze, post: 68324, member: 6436"] Hi Gill- I have read a lot of posts on this site and others about using an electric fuel pump and am getting ready to install them myself on my 610 and 630 Bobcat skid steers. I believe that many people leave the mechanical fuel pump installed and install the electric fuel pump in series in front of the mechanical fuel pump to give it a boost. I have also read that if you do that, it is imperative to get a fuel pressure regulator (sold at auto parts stores along with the pump) to keep pressure down as the Wisconsin VH4D's supposedly work best on 2-4 psi. It may be a different pressure setting for your Ford engine. Obviously this approach will not work if your mechnical pump is leaking, so I would like to hear as well whether others have taken off the mechanical pump and installed a block plate. I am also planning to wire the fuel pump to a separate fused push/pull switch near my seat rather than through the ingition switch- the idea being that it can serve as an emergency cutoff if the machine were to roll or otherwise get out of control. What do others think of that idea? [/QUOTE]
