Fuel pump question for 2005 SLE

Post by rynmcdonald »

Well, the parts store erred and gave me a pump for my 2003 Bonneville SSEi which flows at a higher rate. I’m hesitant about installing it because of this.

Question is - Would it be safe to run this pump or should I go with the one that is specified for the SLE?

Input greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Your fuel pressure regulator will bleed off any extra flow and your system should still be at the same pressure. But, I would just get the correct pump if you haven't done the job yet. One less variable if something goes wrong.
