I like weldon pumps alot, I am running a weldon 2345



D2345
Weldon Pump is introducing a new quieter, lower speed, long lived fuel pump that will support 2500 HP at 70 PSI

What is the advantage of using a sumped tank? How much can the stock fuel lines and rails support? What is limiting them? Where do you get the weldon pump?

Biggest advantage is that you can use an external pump. If that sucker goes bad, no droping the tank to get to it. Also, it has the baffel to make sure you get a full, constant, and consistent fuel supply.

My setup for 754rwhp
---------------------
Speed Inc. fuel rails
83 lb Siemens injectors
-10 line to front, -6 return
Speed Inc. drag tank
Speed Inc. twin Bosch 420 pump setup
Weldon regulator


You can run one pump, I used to run a Weldon 2025 pump, but you could hear it a block away.

i got -6 with the regulator, but recently a guy in our car club got -8 which is kinda silly for it being on the return side, so i gave him the extra -6 i had.

i run that big aluminum case filter that speed inc sells.. all star or something like that? has -8 male on each end. also have the stock filter in the return line. and the filters on the pumps in the tank

Nasty sumped tank, Billet rails and a complete fuel system using Weldon pump. E-mail me for pricing and a complete list. The stock rails and lines are barley good for 650-700rwhp any more than that and you are looking for trouble.

I would not skimp on fuel system, it's the most important part of an FI setup.

Reason to go with aftermarket rails, is that you would otherwise have to find someone who could attach a -8 or -10 fitting to the stock rails... Which is a waste of time.
