Welding up my fuel tank very soon and trying to stay away from having the fuel pump/s in the tank. (Going fuel injection). I plan on using e85 as my main fuel when I can get it as they are building an ethonal plant just 15 miles from here and it works wonder with turbo'd engines. I have 2 brand new fuel pumps that should have enough flow for my engine but are intended as in tank pumps (intended for flex fuel crown vic police interceptors).
I was wondering if you can heat sink the internal pumps so that they can be used external with the correct plumbing. Or will they very quickly burn out.

Why not use a Landrover pump which does all the jobs in one unit in the tank?

Mostly as I already have the two pumps and I know they are fine for use with 85% ethonal. I may have to just put them in the tank as origanal but I did not really want to have to make such a size opening in the tank to make them removable. Ford f15 0 and up pumps should be readily available here as external (land rover is not that common in southern ontario canada.

That is the best docs I have seen for e85. Just wondering if 3/8 id fuel line will now be big enough for at least 300hp?
May have to find bigger outlets for the tank now.
Thanks

you could always run an extra line , or use the return , and plumb an extra return .

if we could get e85 here , id be using it .

i think 3/8 id fuel line would be enough for 300hp , depending how efficient your 4 banger ford is .
