Anyone running an inline fuel pump??
Is this the same pump that was used on ford trucks? Because they also had a pusher pump in both of the tanks to.

Cost about 79.00 from Advance Auto Parts. It is a stock application for several Ford products in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a 5.0 FI.
So far it seems to be doing fine with no starvation I have found yet.
By using this pump, if I am "on the road" ala Power Tour or any run far from home, I can buy a replacement at most any decent parts store and just bolt her in. I am using 3/8 hard lines with FI rubber hose and FI clamps. Make SURE you get the SAE 9 and not SAE 7 (for low pressure injection like throttle body)
All of this is hooked to my stock 1958 Chevrolet passenger fuel tank.
I modified a new tank pickup and added a nipple for the return line into the pickup flange and added a small loop of hose on the end so as not to aerate the fuel. Also, added a prefilter of the old glass and nylon element BEFORE the pump and a conventional high pressure filter after the pump.
Pump is not very loud as some warned it would be. (It's not as loud as Blazers I have had in the past)

The application specs on the E2000 are:
Part No.
E2000
Master OE Fuel Pump: 90-95 PSI; 45-50 GPH
You are right that the Ford pickups have pushers in the tank (or tanks for duals)
I know several people that have used these for other hi pressure conversions for years and the pumps have held up fine.
If you feel that more pressure or volume is needed this one has higher pressure and flow.
Part No.
E8248
Master Universal MPI Fuel Pump: 110-120 PSI; 60-70 GPH
Universal MPI Fuel Pump: 110-120 PSI; 60-70 GPH
I know people that have sprung for the $400 Aeromotive pumps and I dont think they needed that much pump. Maybe if you were going to run a BIG nitrous system or Turbos, but for close to stock I like mine.

There doesn't seem to be much information available on the Master E2000 pump on the net Where can I find specs? Does Master have a WEB Site? I-W posted 90-95 psi, yet other info I saw listed 75-90 psi at the same GPH.
From another forum, I found this:
"My opinion is that the E2000 is not a reliable pump without a prepump"---This was an update after several months of use.
Also, it seems the E2000 is configured for 5/16" fuel line; can anyone confirm? I would prefer 3/8".
I still like the idea of employing the use of a commonly found OEM type in-line pump.

How did you have the in tank setup plumbed? With nitrous you might need a big aeromotive pump. BIG $$
Maybe dual inlines and lines could be desirable?
For inline pumps:
I have been using the E2000 Master. Also Delco EP286 is recommended by many people. These cost from 79.00 to 99.00 each
However, using nitrous may cause further concerns. What size system? Dry or Wet? Maybe a safety switch so if fuel pressure falls the nitrous wont activate. I have been a NHRA Tech Inspector and have seen quite a few fuel failures cause BIG problems.

Chances are you are running a dry shot (this means no fuel jets or solenoid) and you are counting on the stock injectors and fuel pressure to supply the additional fuel needed.
I would look into adding that fuel pressure switch to disable the nitrous if your fuel pressure gets too low. With 100 horse shot you might burn a valve or ring land if you run too lean. Look into a sump around your pickup in the tank. If you run low in tank level and drop the fuel pressure it's a bad thing.
At least with 100 horse jet you should'nt puke parts on the track. I have spread a bunch of grease sweep on the track after someone throws a 400+ horse kit without using the precautions they should.
Good Luck
