It looks like most of the guys that have either converted a motor to tbi or swapped a tbi motor in something are using the ford E2000 type fuel pump. I have not held one so I don't know for sure but from pictures it looks like it has the ford quick disconnect type single "barbs" on it, as in for the clip on quick disconnects.

How are you guys plumbing these in? Do the quick disconnect type fitting unscrew? Are you just running rubber hose up to the barb and clamping it or can you get a hose over that barb? Some type of adaptor maybe?

just trying to narrow down what pump I'm gonna use...appreciate the help

Mine has a single barb on one side and a screw on barbed fitting on the other side. I am using normal fuel line with hose clamps. Have been running it like that or years with no problems. I use an E2182. Its the same pump with different fittings.

What year And what vehicle , and what motor does the pump come from. I see it used by everyone with a fuel cell , but have never seen the exact application. Also what kinda psi does it put out ? Thanks End Hijack .

The master E2182 and E2000 are the same pump with diffrerent fittings.
The 2182 was originally used in tank and the the 2000 was the ford F250 frame pump when used in the dual pump applications.
You can search the partnumber on autozone and partsamerica and then click on the application link to see what all they were used on.

For the e2000 you can use fuel inj rubber hose and clamps or you can buy the ford fuel line repair pieces at AZ with the quick disconnects.
Run a good see through filter ahead of them like the fram G3 and keep them at or below the bottom of the tank.

The pump is capable of producing 95psi but the regulator in the TBI maintains the proper pressure.

I currently use both of these pumps inline. They have been working for several years now

appreciate the info Bill...I was hopeing you would chime in. I think I'm gonna chack oreillys and see if they have a 2182 I can compare to a 2000. I don't like the idea of just running hose up to the barb and clamping it but if that seems to be the prevailing method then I guess that's how I'll do it.

Bill, are you saying that you run two pumps inline?

at autopart.com it says you must run 2 fuel pumps inline with each other when using the e2000 pump (one in tank and one in line)

This is probably for priming the 2nd pump (the e2000) in the event of running the fuel tank dry. As long as you keep a little fuel in the tank the first pump is not necessary. I've been running the e2000 by itself for years, no problem.

hmm. do you run it internaly or externaly? how has it held up to water and mud if externally mounted?

By soaking the end of the rubber fuel line in boiling water for a minute or two I was able to get it up over the barb.

Wasn't fun. Wear gloves. But that sucker isn't coming off!

The TBI regulates the pressure itself??? I would think it would eventually start blowing gaskets/seals with that much pressure, TBI only needs 12-14 psi if i recall correctly. I am needing a fuel pump for a TBI swap I just did but was always under the impression that the e2000 was more for TPI, or a multiport setup.

I run both because I no longer run carbs on of my vehicles...meaning more then one!!


The F250 run a pickup low pressure pump in the tank and feeds the E2000 pump that is mounted on the frame. It is high on the frame!!!

As mentioned earlier...the pump should be mounted at or near the bottom of the tank and as close to the tank as possible.
Pumps will push much better then pull.

I run all of my conversions with the pump external.

I have ran the pumps for mor then 6 years so far.
That is on and off road.

I took my last IH scout to Europe with me and completed 2 complete vacations from Sweden to Sicily with no failures.
That's how confident I am in the TBI systems with this pump.

I just returned to the US and drove it from VA to FL to WA towing a car trailer loaded. This is with the same IH scout I use off-road.
Not one FI part failure yet. And that is using all junkyard and ebay parts other then the pumps. I always use new.

Your missing the point.
How much pressure does your garden hose have with nothing on the end and just running open?

Now what happens if you hold your thumb over the end?

The regulator is in the outlet side of the throttle body after the injectors.
The fuel flows in a constant return system back to the tank.
The regulator is like your thumb over the end of the hose and just keeps opening more and more to keep the pressure at a preset limit.
The return line must not have any kinks or restrictions or it will affect the inlet pressure just like your thumb does!!

Inlet= 3/8" line
Return= 5/16" line

You guys may want to check the FAQ's at the link in my sig.

i run the e2000 pump and havent had any problems out of it and its mounted on the frame .

Did a little research this afternoon...


Granted I'm probably the only one that's this anal about stuff but if anyone ever wants to convert one of these to regular barbed fittings you can get 2 Dorman part number 800-120s. Its a appr. 3 inch adaptor that converts from the quick disconect style fitting to a 5/16 barbed fitting.
