Inline pumps Who exactly does an inline pump work? I know that they are placed into the fuel line after the in tank pump. If the inline pump pumps a higher volume and psi than the in tank pump, how can the in tank pump supply the intake pump with enough fuel for it to work?

I am assuming that the intank will keep the pressure at the same rate all the way up the fuel line and to the rail rails and the inline pump will only keep the pressure from itself( where ever is it installed at ) up to the rail rails. For example:
Inline:
tank------50 psi-----inline pump------65 psi-------fuel rails
Intank:
tank------65 psi------fuel rails
Is this a right assumption? I guess that for the inline pump, it would have to have the same flow rate as the intank pump. If not, wouldn't either part of the fuel line ( either before or after the inline pump ) go dry?

Re: Inline pumps What are you running? Power adder?
Yes an intank would in most setups work better... not only that.. but you could always add a inline after the intank <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> if it's needed.
