New Idea for Fuel Lines

[p5150]

I have a straight bulkhead with a 90 hose end. Im not looking forward to it not fitting.... Did you try to massage the trunk?

There is no chance in hell, the gas tank wont even come close. I tapped the bottom of the trunk floor with a hammer a few times and I could tell it wasn't going to budge plus I didn't want to damage the sheet metal, so I just bought the right fittings before I did any damage. Do yourself and car a favor and get the right fitting and hose end.

What do you guys do for the fuel pickup in the tank when using an external pump?

I am using a sump. I plan on blocking off the lines going in the tank.

Sumping a la Duane.

Only way to keep the pump happy. Also we are lucky in that regards since the tank is mild steel.

Thanks for the input - I thought I had this thing licked with my 90 hose end. Fuck. I guess I will have to wait a week for this shit to come in.

Here is an old picture of my tank, but you get the idea.

The only problem I have with that is I would never have critical parts like fuel fittings and a filter hanging that low off the back of the car.

It looks like I would get pulled over and ticketed before I get a block away from my house! :biglaugh:

Update to this - one of my high-quality Walboros siezed and blew my fuse. I had to pull it out.

I shitcanned the Walboros and put in dual MKIV pumps.
