Hey guys does anyone know if these pumps need to be gravity fed or will they pull gas from a take by suction? I cant get my pump to build enough pressure and im running number ten line. thanks

BGs should be mounted below the tank and as close to the tank as possible. The push alot better than they pull. The #10 line is fine for a suction line.

I've had bad luck with BG pumps. They have always leaked and the seals go bad.

We need more details on your fuel system.I have dealt with barry grant pumps in a boat.They are are not all bad but we do not, as boaters, deal with the fuel line legths and pressure /flow requirements of a drag car.A BG 400 will fall off in pressure after time. Choose a mallory 140 gph marine or clay smith mechanical to fuel your your ride.If you run nitrous have dedicated pump and fuel supply.BG H.R. 220 Was a good pump.My favorite is the 140 mallory marine pump.
