Input on electric fuel pump selection

Not sure what that will do for electric pumps having to pull the fuel from the mat,

Does seem to be a viable option vs the sump, a bulkhead fitting and some hose would do the trick,

as everything car related cost will be the primary driver as to how much of the market it will corner.

I will most likely try the hydromat for my Firebird build and use it with the ole Holley Blue pump. It would allow me to keep less fuel in the car at the strip so less weight which = quicker times. Also, in the past I've had to keep a minimum of 1/3 tank of fuel in the car for road track events and my tank isn't baffled so there's quite a bit of weight sloshing around back there. I had to start sessions with close to 3/4 tank of fuel. A Ricks tank or fuel cell aren't in the budget for the current project but the Hydramat may allow me to keep less fuel in the car for the 20 minute sessions I run.
 
Looks like it could be a good option. I can see allot of the pro touring g-machine guys buying into it if it works. Cause not every one can afford a bladder baffled fuel cell.
 
Its been a while since my last post on my fuel system,

I installed the sump and started plumbing the fuel system,

the tank prepped for the sump and the hole cut,


view of sump from the inside of the tank


view of sump from bottom side of tank


and what I feel was a major contributor to my fuel starvation issues, it is the supply line to the pump. When I lowered the tank it looks like the supply line and the return line got crossed on the top of the tank and the return line smashed the supply line, it appears to be just about smashed flat. I really don't know how it ran at all with the line like this.


The tank is back in the car, the filter is mounted and the lines ran from the sump to the filter


I was going to mount the filter where the pump is but changed my mind at the last minute, this is the reason I didn't change the sump fittings to straight fittings (can't do it with the sump mounted).

Neal :D
 

Nice work Neal !!!

Looks like it should flow alot more fuel now that you have a better design sump
and larger lines. It always seems there is something we would do differently the
next time. ;)

450 LPH EFI FUEL PUMP
before you buy any electric fuel pump be sure it pushes the required volume per minute and at the correct pressure level,
read the related info carefully, efi pumps will require a fuel pressure regulator and generally run in the 44 psi-70 psi ranges
low pressure electrical fuel pumps are available for carb applications
