    Fuel pump needs with a fuel cell vs stock tank?

    I have been throwing around the idea of using a seperate fuel tank for years so I can run pure C16 and not have to worry about getting my fuel level low etc, which is a PITA, but always put it off. Well, 2 local guys have toasted their engines running meth as a fuel adder so I don't want to toast my engine this year, plus the track's fuel vendor retired sooooooooooooo, I am going to put a 4 gallon fuel tank under the van and use that strictly for the track. Plumbing will be simple and have to figure out how to fill it. My only question is, right now, running a tired 255 intank pump and a 255 inline pump so do I need to run another intank pump or just use the inline pump? I am aiming for 5-600 whp this year and have 88 lb injectors,

    You will need a solenoid to select lines and if you can gravity feed the inline pump that will work. I don't think you are going to be able to go to 600 hp with 88# injectors.

    I am going to use a Ford fuel tank selector for the tee, that's cake.

    I can try to go 600, we'll see, Right now, I am not even close to maxing out my fuel system running +40's.


    Just wondered if the weak intank pump is helping, my fuel pressure drops about 5 psi when disconnect the inline pump.

    Cut a hole in the floor above the cell filler. Then fabricate a metal trap door over it.

    I could do that, right around the sliding door area I figure I can mount it,

    Or put a hole in the side like the stock tank, use a filler neck.

    Mount the tank under the floor under the pass seat . have it so that when you push the seat far forward that you can open a trap door to fill it with a race can.

    The inline pump is a restriction if not turning.
