This is a project I want to take on over the winter.

So, I have a 290 pump waiting to be installed, I'm assuming I still fit this (intank) to feed a swirl pot.

Now, I would like to fit twin pumps from the swirl, do these just get "teed" into the main fuel line to FPR?

Can I fit an inline fuel filter in boot?

If anyone can just list the basics of what line goes where that would be super.

I think I will be using AN8 fittings and braided lines. Is that the correct size?

How do I get a AN fitting on the fuel tank cradle for the feed to the swirl?

You'll need to get someone to weld on a -6/8 fitting to the top of the fuel pump cradle assembly.

Fuel rail gubbins depends if you are staying OEM or parallel set up. Again, get your rails modified, or spend a lot more on billet rails from the likes of RCM/CDF etc.

bosch 044 with a swirl pot will run to over 600bhp

That's great, really helpfull.

I'll probably go for one of those kits that CDF offer for the fuel rails.

where the fuel lines go through the bulkhead do you run the lines through a gromit? I have seen some kind of fixing that has fitting either side? Sorry I'm not sure what it's called.

I'll speak to a mate, he does some welding see if he can do the cradle, I have a spare one of those so that's cool.

That should be ample for time being, aim is from 500 working up to 600 - 700 in the coming year.

Hi there

Yes you will need to use as lift pump yours 290LPH fuel pump,we are used 340LPH

As above single Bosch 044 will be enough for yours needs,twin 044 you are really don't need

And as above -6 should be enough too for yours needs,-8 can be OK too,this really depends on more factors,but we run -6 and those lines has been enough

Yes inline filter is must and I would have look on Torque filters or FueLab and I wouldn't use Sytec fuel filters if you are planning to run meth or race fuel

In yours other thread I've posted picture how it looks

Thanks,Jura

From memory, there is three pipes going to the cradle?

Obv supply and tank return, but what would the third one be?

The third is the jet pump supply which is pulled from the other side of the tank to keep the fuel level even in the saddle bag style tank. The third line that runs to the tank from the bay is the evap hose which goes to two rollover valves on the tank for ventilation.

Starting to he my head around this now.

If I were to opt for an in boot tank, to replace the O.E one, I'm taking it the only pump I would need would be the external bosche one?

Yes mine only has 1 as you can see from the photo I have a pot welded into the bottom of the tank to help with fuel surge on corners the tank is foam filled and has internal baffle plates as well to keep the fuel in the centre area of the tank

This looks like work of art,my god looks awesome


Thanks,Jura

That looks awesome.

Certainly given me some ideas,

I guess there's quite a weight saving to be had between ally tank in boot, compared o the O.E steel tank.

Bound to be cookstar, I thing I never did was to weight the oem tank and senders and the boot floor when I cut it out. FYI the alloy tank I have hold approx 40ltrs of fuel.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Was that a custom made tank, or off the shelf?

gussy

The tank was made by prefab who did all the work on my shell and I got it modified by a lad local to me who added the legs to the tank put the angles on the top and added the surge tank in the bottom, any alloy tank firms on E-bay could make one to your design or requirements.

To be honest having just restored an OE tank they are not THAT heavy. Not sure how much lighter an ali one would be as it will be thicker material. Obviously lighter but just not sure how much difference. That tank does look nice but center of gravity wise it's quite nice having it in the OE location low down and in front of the rear wheels instead of high up and further back.

gussy

Its in line with the rear wheels. due to baffle foam and plates no sloshing around of fuel from side to side plus I had to put it into the boot due to this underneath



and this

Looks great
