I removed my foam years ago because of the alcohol in pump gas with zero issues. These are the instruction that came with my BG400 pump.
Bypass The return line should be fed with a single #8 or 1/2" line. Plumbing kit number 150187 is avail- able for this application. The return should expel the bypassed fuel into the liquid rather than into the air space of the fuel cell. This will prevent aeration of the fuel. All fuel tanks and cells should have fuel cell foam installed to prevent fuel slosh. WARNING: DO NOT BLOCK THE RE- TURN, VENT, OR PUMP FEED. MAKE SURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS LEAK FREE AT ALL CONNECTIONS...YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON IT! Wiring BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL CON- NECTIONS, DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE TERMINAL FROM THE BATTERY. Your BG400 Fuel system should be connected to a fully charged 12 or 16 volt battery. A fuel pump, like any other electrical accessory, will only perform at its best when given adequate voltage. The black wire is a ground (-) and the remaining wire is a switched hot lead from a 12 or 16 volt source. If wired incorrectly, the pump wi
I know sometimes I'm a bit out in left field, but I have thought about this before. like in a fish tank where water flows out of the filter and dumps into the water, its adding oxygen to the water, is it possible that when fuel is dumping into a fuel cell, is it adding oxygen to the fuel similar to some race fuels that are oxygenated
If it is , its so minute you wouldnt ever see any affect.. I did a study on this at Chrysler and I found that if it enters below its a lot less issue with air.. thats the reason we STILL return it well below the fuel level... now we use the return to accumulate more fuel in our reservoir that surrounds the pump... injected engines HATE air(as in bubbles)... a ton of air is induced at the carb when the fuel goes past the N/S into the bowls
