Fuel pump mounting
hi all
I am wondering about a construction of a reverse trike using a 2001 suzuki GSXF600 I have in my garage and, as seen many times, using the rear of the
bike frame already attached with the engine, but not sounds as a bike without front fork "glued" to a front part of a car.
one thing I am trying to tune up in my head is that the custom fuel tank would be located in bottom of the chassis. so a fuel pump would be required,
plus some kind of flow regulator and so on.
what I want for now is if someone that has already did this, or have the know-how, tell me what type of fuel pump and all the surround ancilars would
I need in a way to full understand the whole gas intake system.
one more thing, the car would be a single seater and used just for shows and perhaps made a hill climbing nearby my town, in a way to that fuel system
would nead a tiny fuel tank to run a few kilometers or so at a time.
thanks in advance.

Use the pump etc from the bike, it doesn't matter where the tank is placed, the bike pump will deal with it.

this bike uses a petcock, not a electric pump.

Isn't the GSXF 600 EFI?
It appears it has carbs. Use a bike carb fuel pump, the Kawasaki will work fine, they are self regulating.
This is mine.

On my triabusa i have my tanks behind my seat, they feed a facey pump ( http://www.fuelpumpsonline.co.uk/facet-posi-flow-pumps-1819-c.asp) which pumps
upto a swirl pot mounted higher than the standard busa pump that feed the injectors. Simple set up really.

What's the idea behind the swirl pot.
I'll be trying to get my ZX10R engine completed soon and the standard Kwak pump won't like my plastic fuel tank.

All you need is a pump from any carburetor fed bike 600cc +, they are mostly made by Mitsubishi, and are much the same as one another, just the pipe
connector orientation will vary.
You'll need a filter too, I'd go with one between the tank and pump, keep the pump as low as possible, they will pump uphill, but they do
not like sucking uphill. No need for a regulator, the pumps only push 1 or 2 psi so the carb floats can easily handle it.

thanks for help but I seems to be your particular choice and I don't know it would work in my case.
anyway I will wait for someone who tells me somtething more squematic with parts that I can buy easily.

Exactly - I doubt it will feed that Jag lump though
