Re: in tank to inline fuel pump??

The last time I heard of someone doing this, they were going to take the sending unit out of an early carb'd f-body (82-84) and use that. I imagine you could remove the pump from the sending unit and fabricate a tube to take the place of the pump, though.

Does the pump inside the tank act as
a restriction to the inline pump

No, the pump in the tank is not working,
you just suck through it and use the same line

Re: in tank to inline fuel pump??

It will act as a huge restriction if you try to pull through the factory pump. You will develop pressure but not volume. It wont run at anything over 2000 rpm.
