Has anyone run a KSE tandem pump with injection?

The KSE pump is designed for a carb. I don't believe it can make enough pressure or volume for injection. The pumps I've had will only make about 12 PSI and that's not near enough for any kind of fuel injection. Hope this will help you.

Injection needs a pump that is ran by the engine, because of the range of pressures and flows needed as the barrel valve controls what goes into the engine, it must be able to vary with engine speed. Bob

If you read the description it's for a carb not for fuel injection. They do make a pump that can stack a fuel injection pump onto(hilborn,kinsler, engler or the like) I have used KSE power steering pumps for years and had to stack my hilborn on the end of it for my kinsler injection. Also have used their belt driven tandem pump on my modified with a carb with absolutely no problems what so ever.

Thanks for the input. It's a spec motor non wing class, but are allowed to run injection... I've gotten by running my mod motor with carb and all, but give up a bit on starts.

Do you remember what you had for a bypass setup?

Ran a kse tandem pump for years. Mounted up in the same place the kse hpd pumps mount with additional fuel pump and ran off the cam spud. Everything sat closer to the motorplate which decreases the chance of the pump getting knocked off.
