Fuel injection fuel pump?
What fuel pump are people running fuel injection using? Where have you
mounted it? Can you get pumps that fit 'in' the tank?
I need to sort out what pump I'm using soon so that I can have the tank
made.
Thanks

Do you need to fit it below the tank? IE gravity feed?
Thanks

I used the standard Sierra injection fuel pump mounted on it's rubber mounted bracket that had the rivets removed from the main carrier on the
donor. Mines mounted on the top rail near the top wishbone mount rail on an Indy, so its about level with the top of the tank (from memory). I would
definately recommend fitting an inlet filter between the tank and the pump tho'. No problems so far, I did a test before fiotting the pump - it
didn't seem to have any problems sucking when about 300mm above fluid level.

It is easier to use a Vauxhall pump as it has push fit 12mm inlet and 8mm outlet, both join straight to normal rubber pipe with clips. It is a must to
mount them below the bottom of the tank to work correctly as they are only able to pump the fuel and have very little ability to suck. I have mounted
mine on a small plate between the bottom rear chassis rails, and as mentioned use a good filter before and after. I used a Vx Carlton post pump filter
again with 8mm tails, had to use "bullet" style pre filter. The fuel is used to cool and lube the pump so don't be tempted to run
dry as it will seize very quickly, hence need to mount below tank so that they can never run dry. picked up s/h SRi pump for £25 or new aftermarket
one for about £100.
