Default fuel cell and plumbing how to?

Im not getting any help or attention in the fuel threads, so I posted it where it will. Help is greatly appreciated. I want to put the cell where the t tops will be unless there IS A better place? I will drive it on the street so I will need a pump that can be driven on the street for atleast 2hrs non stop if needed. Rather be safe than sorry. BUt mainly race ready.

Which cell to go with? atleast 5 gallon minimum

what pump and all fittings and lines.

boosted setup with over 800hp

Going to stock ls fuel lines if that matters.Unless there are better fuel lines that can be used on a ls6 intake and setup the fuel system better.. I would rather do the fuel scene 1x not more.

any diagrams/pictures and how tos would be great.

thanks

What fuel do you plan on running? 93 and Meth e-85 C16??


Also even on pump gas and Meth I would scratch the stock fuel lines. unless you want to use the stock feed as a return.

I have been around 800 hp with a double pumper set up in the stock tank. Using an 8AN feen line aftermarket rails and Boost ref fuel pressure regulator. Then using the stock feed line as a return to the stock tank.

If you have a Metal tank you can run 3 intank pumps easily as well and run e-85 might want to switch to a -10 feed line

sorry e85 I would like. Especially since its a turbo setup.

Yes I thought about bigger than 5 gallon but thats why I put minimum.

I just dont want a pump to only like 1/4 mile passes then burn up on the street when its running for over 30 min.

I currently have 3- 255LPH walboro 340 pumps. However if I was to do it again I would run 2 of the newer pumps that they have that flow something like 340LPH.

I am running the eldebrock rails that came with my Vic Jr

2 hours of continuous driving? With 800hp 5 gallons on e85 is gonna get ya about 20 min. Like said you need 2 pumps in the factory tank or one of our Pro Touring fuel tanks for factory size fitment, factory fill neck, factory gauge we add a big MagnaFuel pro tuner pump inside to keep it cool and quieter.

Oh and you will need to upgrade lines at that level as well.
