BC Bronco tank...Ninja fuel pump question

Does anyone know or recall if the "Ninja" pumps in the BC Bronco's tanks that they used to sell had a check valve built in? And I can't recall but was there a 100 micron filter on the pump itself?

Thanks for any insight as always.

I'm not sure about a check valve. I had it on a Sniper and I had a pressure gauge in the engine bay. It would lose pressure after sitting for a while...so I am assuming no. But it always pressured back up almost immediately.

I'm currently switching to a Pro-Flow and had some questions about the pump specs, so BC just emailed me a data sheet on the pump a few days ago. I'll look at it a little closer in a bit to see if a check is mentioned.

Thats perfect thank you. Great to know they still have the specs as I'm getting ready to run a Pro Flo as well, so I'll reach out for those as well. If you happen to see anything on that or if it has a filter already on the pump, that would be great. If it has the 100 mic already inside, I'm assuming all I'll need is a 10 mic downstream of the pump, just can't remember what the internal pump set up looked like!

most EFI fuel pumps do have a check valve, and will usually bleed down over a few minutes.

The internal pumps usually just have a sock on the end as far as I know.

Maintaining supply line pressure with the pump off is a goal. Holding the pressure means that the fuel can't boil after a hot shut-down. Vapor locked EFI can be a real PITA to get running again.
