Default Need some help with fuel system (fuel cell)

I have just purchased a fuel cell for my car the measurements are 30x12x9 its an RCI cell with sending unit. Still in process with my forged 370 build with an 84mm borg warner. I want to get my fuel system right the first time with no shortages. I was looking to do an a1000 but starting to seem persuaded to a dual pump setup. My only issue is I have no idea how to setup/wire dual pumps and dont know where i'd be able to find a kit or would i just have to fab one from scratch. I'm going to be also running all new lines up front, contemplating going a little larger. Any input would be awesome and if any one knew who'd sell a kit that i could basically drop in.

There's no kit. You're going to have to slice some metal.

I'm using a jaz 24 x 17 x18 cell that holds 26gal and fits well with a bit of sheet-metal slicing.

When you say "kits" are you talking about just fuel system fittings and hardware, or a complete "vehicle specific" Kit that includes tank mounting bracketry, cutting templates and everything else?

BTW... Heres my cell sitting in the car. (It still needs caging and bulk-head work)

Complete fuel systems from factory location tank with big pump inside to all the lines everything nessesary for the install. I can set you up with complete setup after the tank as well if you plan to use the fuel cell you have.

By kits I mean a dual pump set up already made to drop in a cell where i don't have to fab up brackets. If i have to make something custom that's fine just figured if i could save some time I'd go that route.

they make a dual pump setup that is made to drop right into a factory tank. As long as your cell has the same diameter cover I don't see why that wouldn't work. check out their website or give them a call!

First off, what type of power are you looking to make, and what fuel are you planning on running to make said power? We can't answer your questions accurately without this info.

But based on the little info you provided, you could get away with a single Magnafuel 4303. That's what I'm running, and it should be good for 1000whp on e85. -10 feed, -8 return, ID2000s, and Aeromotive 13110 Pro Series regulator.

Check out my build thread, I just finished running fuel lines and I'll be wiring the fuel pump in the next few days. https://ls1tech.com/forums/texas-mem...-build-12.html
