4gen gas tank swap questions.

Yep, more questions. Ive searched n searched, but I have not found the answer to two questions.

1. When using AN fittings, how long of hose is needed between the tank and the rubber hose on the 3gen fuel line?

2. I am TPI, no engine swap. Will the 3.8 pump, or LS1 pump be enough to run my TPI. The tank I ordered did not say what engine it was from, will need to investigate when I get it.

Re: 4gen gas tank swap questions.

LS1 pump will do fine for the TPI (volume-wise). It will run the pressure too high, though, if you have a tank with the internal regulator. (You may have read some about this already, if not, let me know.)

Not sure about the 3.8 pump though, someone else should be along to comment on that and the hose length...

Most of them threads I had seen.

None say what length hose.
