Fuel system ??
OK, Jack says that my fuel system needs some upgrading. I agree. I am using the same Walbro from when I built the car 10 years ago, and I'm upgrading the motor a bit, so need to upgrade the fuel system at the same time. I was just pricing the parts, but have a few questions.
I may sump the tank, since I have no trunk to put a cell, so even with a cell mounted underneath, it becomes a challenge to get fuel into it. I am planning to get the Aeromotive for a pump. Should I go with the A1000 or the Eliminator? The A1000 is cheaper, but not if I have to upgrade later. F.A.S.T. on the other hand has a fuel system kit which may save a couple of dollars in the end, but is the pump any good. For line size: What sizes do I want? This is what I am guessing I should use, but guessing isn't always fun when working with flammables. -10AN from the tank to the pump, and from pump to the filter -8AN from the 'Y' to the fuel rails -8AN from rails to regulator (or can I use -6AN) -6AN from regulator to the tank I may start off using the factory fuel rails just to save some money up front, but then that would be a few wasted fittings and hose, so that wouldn't save me in the long run. Also, is the factory return line sufficient, or do I have to run a new one? That is one way that I could save in the present without spending more by upgrading in the future. Looking for ideas to do it right, without blowing all of my money on it. I don't mind upgrading some parts later'but not if it means spending more overall, because I am buying some things twice. Sooooo, suggestions, ideas?? Thanks.
