Default Can the inline fuel pump LPH ...

I have a Racetronix 255 LPH intank fuel pump. Prior to the intank Racetronix FP, I had an inline fuel pump installed-Vortech T rex 50/70 (still do).

My question is can the inline fuel pump have a higher LPH rating than the intank FP? Or can it have less LPH than the intank LPH? Or should the LPH be equal between both fuel pumps?

Thanks.

If your still using the factory bucket, you should not use an inline pump as the bucket will not refill properly. If not, then you're ok to upsize the inline pump about 30-40% larger than the intank pump since it will see less pressure abnd be able to pump more fuel....personally, I don't like inlines and would rec a dual intank pump set-up.

Can you elaborate on factory bucket. I am trying to figure out what my tuner/mechanic could not figure out. Thanks.

It's part of the factory fuel pump module. Your fuel pump sits in it and it allows the fuel pump to be submerged in fuel at all times, no matter what the level of fuel in the main tank.

I've also been wondering the same thing, I also have a vortech t rex inline and an intank racetronix, should I run both, or just the intank?

Whats the size of your T-rex. I was using a 50/70, and it failed on me (also left me stranded on the side of the road). Looking for a suitable replacement or just put a Kenne Bell BAP.

Any sponsors willing to make a sale??

mine is the 50/70 as well, should I use it along with my intank or just use the racetronix?

Did anyone ever answer this? I'm curious myself to know whether I should use a racetronix intank and my 50/70 Trex, or just the intank/Inline.
