submersible fuel pump? how many PSI?

[venFiken]

I have access to many submersible fuel pumps. I was wondering if any of these will surfice. I cannot get any GPH information only PSI. One turns 40PSI and the other 80.

Any ideas / suggestions on this?

Gas is really poor conductor. The pumps in question resides in the fuel tank exposed. Power is provided via a 2 prong non sealed wire. Yeah exposed voltage in the tank. But hey unless it's an inline pump thats the only way I have seen it done.

I'm trying to understand how you intend to use the pump.

It's not to complex really. As I said the connections to the pump are not water tight but a bit of silicone will tend to that problem. I plan to sit it in a resivor "the pump is about the size of a roll of silver dollars" then feed it to the water block, radiator, etc... It's powered by 12v DC current so power is not going to be a problem.

there was a review on this

I think it was in the water cooling section

they said it worked fine but was loud
