Default High fuel pressure is not your friend...


I cringe when I hear about people pushing 100+ psi through their fuel lines. This is just an example of what could happen.

The video is from an F1 race a few years back. Jos Verstappen's Benetton pulls into the pits to refuel...

Amazingly, nobody was hurt. Don't assume the same would be true for you unless you drive your car wearing a nomex suit.

What? That has nothing to do with high pressure. The guy obviously didn't have it on right and it slipped off.

Holy ****!! Did anyone get hurt? I hope not. That's why I am against those damn FMU's. Dangerous little bitches they are. Just think if you had your hood up with a high flow pump and one of those things, and your head was in there. Or, even driving down the road. You never know what could happen. Standalone is the only way to go. IMO
