i had a 305tbi and took out the intank pump. now where should i mount my electirc fuel pump? where the fuel filter is? i have a holley"blue" pump. let me know if u have suggestions/pics where i should mount it thanx guys

 

As close to the tank as possible. Used to have a Holley black where this big sucker is now.

 

do u have a stock tank or like a fuel cell cuz im tryin to picture where that pump is mounted haah

 

i have mine mounted in the same place , you say you had a holley black pump there before ? i had one also , had nothing but problems with it put it on and lasted a couple days then got another one it lasted a day put a holley blue on it and it works fine ,actually i put two holley blue pumps on it one for motor one for nos , what happened with your black pump ?

 

It's a stock tank that I fitted a 1/2 inch pickup tube into. Have a look under your car on the driver's side and you'll see there's room for the pump.

The black pump is sitting on the shelf along with the red pump that was used for the nitrous fuel system. Thought I had fuel delivery problems so I did a whole new system, turns out I did it for nothing At least now I have even more room to grow.

 

thanx hey what do u guys recommend that i do for a return line? the pump only has an in and out ports ?

 

Use a 3 port regulator and have the extra port go to the factory return line that dumps back into the tank. It might require going from an AN fitting to a hose barb but it worked for me. Its also a little better to have it regulated more accurately. The fuel pressure is best regulated as close to the needle/seat as possible.

 

Here is where my volumax is mounted.

 

mmmm....that's purdy.

 

as i can see from the pics im guessing i should just get rid of my old stock metal fuel lines and run some sorta of flexable ones correct?

 

It's up to you what you want to run. I ran fuel line and hose clamps for a while without issue but then decided to go with AN fittings everywhere. The pump, fuel filter, hard line, braided hose and fittings put a nice ding in my wallet, around 800 bucks.

 

i'm at $1200 in my fuel system i think....sure adds up quick doesn't it?

 

No kidding it does With the regulators, gauges and relay I already had it would probably push it up around $1000

 

hey thans for all the info its really helping me out. im just still lost on like how i should run the lines after they coem off the pump. do u guys have any pics of when u connect the lines from the pump to liek the factory metal ones on the d/s fram rail. thanx

 

do u think this kit would be good enought for what im doing. im tryin to keep costs down in this part of my build since i have so much stuff to buy

Hard lines are okay. It just becomes a pain to bend, especially when you get into the engine compartment. The connections aren't as secure compared to an fittings, which you can still use with hard lines by the way.

Check out summit racings clearance for hard fuel line. I saw some 25 foot rolls of red, green, blue, etc. for 14 bucks.

 

how do i no what i have.. like -8 -10? i dont get that hah

 

ttt

 

Check out my system. I have less than 500 bucks in it. That is including the mod to the tank.

The link above gives you the sizes of an fittings compared to standard sizes. 3/8", 6-an, is plenty for what you are doing.

Once you decided what type of line you want to run, i.e. braided or hard, then you can start picking out the fittings. When getting fittings, I find it easiest to "mock up" your fuel pump and regulator. That way you know what degree bend fittings you need. The majority of fuel pumps and regulators that I have been in contact with require a npt to an adapter fitting that screws into the holes on the pump/regulator and then connect to your an fitting. Measure the length of tubing/hose you will need based off where you mock up the tank->pump->regulator->carb and regulator back to pump if you are using a 3 port regulator. If you go the cheaper tubing route you will need to get a flaring tool so you can flare the end of the tubing for a good seal.
