Default LSX Mustang swap guys.. lets talk fuel systems..

What are you guys running for a fuel setup? Are you using the stock tank? I was thinking of using the Glenn's performance sumped tank.. thoughts? Looking for something to support 700-800 wheel

Stock tank with a stock 5.3 and a Walbro 255 pump. I will be having my spare tank sumped shortly because I am having starvation issues already when I get down around 1/2 tank.

255 intank here as well. There is a sumped tank on a local board for $75 I'm thinking about picking it up and switching to twin external 255s.

Glenns tanks work great. Used them on mult cars and now have one in my 28-10.5 coupe that makes over 1000whp. Never have any fuel press or volume issues.

Anyone try the new Holley dual external pump setup? A friend bought it for his Nova project and it looks pretty nice.

I just ordered the aeromotive 340lph in tank pump and -6 feed and return lines. Starting with a stock 5.3 and stock tank, will see how it goes. Planning on a cam shortly after first firing and test runs.

So no one is using the stock lines? Is there an adapter from Earls or Aeromotive to go from the stock lines to a C5 reg? I'm LS swapping a 86 Thunderbird that had a 3.8 with EFI I'm sure the pump is a 90 lph so I know a 255 is needed but if I can save a few bucks but not running new lines that would be awesome.

I believe the stock lines are 5/16" feed and 1/4" return, you could probably get an adapter for the feed line but would have to hose clamp the return, and also don't know how much the lines flow...

when I first did my swap I hose clamped from the stock lines to vette filter, did not have a problem, but that was also a stock ls1

Jegs 20 Gallon fuel cell with Sump.
fits in the Spare tire well with minor(hit it with a hammer) modifications to the spare tire area.



Holley EFI 12-1800 Fuel Pump
mounted on the bumper
pre filter, post filter, shut off valve so I can disconnect the tank without having to drain it.
dual 10an out of the tank, to single 12an into the pump
10an out of the pump to the front of the car.
split off with a 10x8x8 Y and hits both rails with an 8an
then out of the rails with an 8an to the regulator...8an return to the tank.

That's what I have so far so good but I've only been down the track one time as I just got the car running a couple weeks ago. They are extremely quiet compared to any external pump I've run before. I had the Holley single external pump with my previous nitrous set up and it held up without any issues.

With the nitrous I had a stock 94 tank with a simple fuel pick up tube installed in place of the stock pump. Holley single pump pulling through that pick up, -8 feed, stock feed line as a return line, Holley regulator.

With the turbo I switched to an 04 tank I had with a welded in sump, -10 feed to a Holley double pump, -8 return, big Mangafuel regulator.
