Default what have you guys done to fuel system while keeping the intank pump and stock lines?

i am still running an intank walbro. i just upgraded to a 340 wlabro
but mainly my biggest bottle neck is the stock lines from the tank, through the stock fuel filter and up to under the car where i converted it to -6 an braided line.

how have you upgraded coming out of the pump?

i have one idea of how to do it, and it shouldn't be that difficult to tackle

thanks!

Run -6 or -8 bulkhead fitting through the top of the pump housing. Then just run that size line up to the filter and engine .....etc. Do the same with the return.

He should actually do a stand-a-lone like mentioned and also sump his stock tank and run A1000 pump with -10 feed and -6 return. Will not ever run out of fuel with both combined. This is how I did mine and feel confident it will never run out of fuel.


Oh wait....I think Taner already has a stand-a-lone fuel system? If so go ahead and do the bulkhead connector mod and or sump the tank.

i am doing the -8 feed and -6 return, as mentioned above. i haven't had a chance to get back to this thread. i just wanted to see what others have done. and yes n2o has been stand alone since day 1. my problem is i have come to the realization that I have maxxed out my walbro 340.

lonnie is doing a twin in tank for me. apparently there are guys pushing 1000 rwhp with this setup, maybe i should just have him do a triple, then i could eliminate the stand alone setup... lol!!!!! i like the idea of the intank quiet setup vs. an external. that means even more fabrication, and sumping ...lol!!!!

the fittings mentioned are the ones i used when i converted to an lines under the car where the plastic lines used to come off of.
