bending the rules some what of fule pumps

[NashMan]

well i going to need 2 pumps soon or one big one


well i got deal on this guy http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/pdetail.php?prod=3


but i don't want to add a sump to my tank nore do i wana spend a shit load on fitting's and lines

so i was thinking of useing it as booster pump in my eninge bay


i know this in not great idea nd may kill the pump but will it for fact kill a pump

give me some idea that why not cost a arm and leg to install this thing

u can use the the a1000 in addition to the a pump in the tank, just make sure u wire it so that they both come on at the same time, u dont want the 1000 trying to suck fuel through another pump, it will only last a few minutes doing that. dont ask how i know. lmk if u have any questions i have an 1000 in my car along with all ss hoses etc. i did it all myself.

so you can run it in mid line i was going to put it in the enigne bay bolted to my frame rail in my einge bay

and then i can just tee off the fule pump relay so then both turn on the same tiem

that would definetly work.

Do it right... or don't do it.

That's SURELY setting yourself up for disaster.

Sell the A1k, buy another walbro, and run dual intank walbros. That will work just fine and you'll have plenty of fuel for 720s.

ummm how is this not doing it right the only thing i can think of is not upgrading my line to bigger lest say 8 feed and retrun 6

but really my lines are good eghough for 600+ any ways


oh the weld on sump suck ass since when ever you floor it or brake hard you cause the pump to starve this si if you run low on gas like less then half tank

in less you were to re do teh baffeling in the tank for teh sump then ti will work great but it doesnt


plus it will look pretty in my enigne bay

My thought is that mounting that pump in the engine bay is a bad idea. While it might work, I'd be concerned about the added temp of the engine bay... Also the a1000 can flow alot more fuel than the stock pump which will make the stock pump not allow the a1000 to preform at its potential? Seems like the a1000 would be starving for fuel? Please someone explain how this works.

the einge bay heat is really not an issue really the noise the fule pump makes might be tad anoying


but my plans were to to go 8 hose size of the stock fule block so teh pump will have some pooling room


and as for ti runing at it's max who cares all never max out this fule system
