I don't understand this comment. What do you mean "it is unique to the car" and it is a "leave it alone" item? Why woundn't I want to put an in-tank electric pump, epecially if running fuel injection? There are many advantages to running the pump in-tank...

Many people overengineer their fuel systems. Most street cars will do fine with the smaller fuel lines.

People need to calculate the fuel requirements based on the target horsepower. The old .5 pounds of fuel for a NA motor is a good rule of thumb. .6 pounds of fuel per horsepower for SC/TC engines...


How did you do it? The intank electic pumps I'm familiar with are attached to the fuel pump pick-up system, or part of it. The Pantera pick-up/sender assembly is unique to the car.

I personally don't want to reinvent the wheel. I understand that others live to do that though. Big Grin
