How to slow down an electronic pump? i have a 240v fuel pump but the rate of flow is...
i have a 240v fuel pump but the rate of flow is super fast & the fuel rockets out of the nozzle & splashes adjectives over the place, also when i release the nozzle trigger the pressure in the pipe is high so much so it burst the pipe the other time. is there anyway to slow the pump down to a managable rate, what if i was to decline the voltage a bit
regards
Answers: Check to see if there are any pressure settings on the pump body.
Something is seriously wrong contained by the design of this system. No reputable maker would have put together materials that insure fiasco and the liability of explosion and death.
If the pump can be wired to operate a slower speed, the connections should be identified in the User's Manual and on the electrical roundabout. Lowering the voltage may slow down the pump - and get it working at a speed causing it to overheat and quit. Most electric motors do not operate at inconstant speeds, but use a controller to do so. Installing one will cost more for the combination than the correct motor to begin with.
Piping not rate for the rated output pressure of the pump should be replaced before you operate again.
