Fabrication Parts

[markoverclock]

What's the SS vs Alu go with fuels? I know Earls suggested Aluminium lines for me...

would it be impossible to get an aluminium one that takes the stock level sensors & has 2 pickups for external pumps?

Yes i can, but most external fuel pumps require sumping a tank, not siphon tubes.
and yes i will have the stock pickup sensor installed on all of the assembly.

Either Stainless Steel or Aluminum. Im really leaning toward the stainless one. Smaller welds and stronger material when thin. Plus no rust.

Also if you guys could spread the word on the fab parts. that would be great. After x-mas we will see what lists are the longest and start on making the parts and pricing.

I would assume that you could use an external pump with the stock pickup? this is the direction I'm more or less heading in? stock pump would cavitate and drop to 0 pump pressure on air pickup as well surely?

the way you are talking about, they dont recomend it. because the pumps are not suction pumps just turbine pumps. you can use a stock style in tank fuel pump and a bosch o44. but that really still is restricted on the first pump. i does help say a 255lph pump flow more like 280 or so. but at some point the first pump is a restriction. that is why im doing one, two, or three in tank pumps.

3 for the people who want to use e85 like me and shoot for 1xxx. also helps people do the upgrade slowly. you can buy a single pump then upgrade to 2 then to 3 and all you need to do is buy another pump and modify the one i made to begin with. so your not loosing money buy a whole new setup. Sure you loose a little do to having it upgraded. but that way you only pay for the upgrade as needed.

I assume your referring to priming issues? the Weldon 2015-A(one to start.. a second down the track if I really have issues) I'm looking at is self priming, I'm assuming your worried about getting air in the line?

I understand what your working towards don't mean to be a pain in the arse

[markoverclock]

look at the directions, they still want a sumped gas tank.

Michael,
As long as the pick up tube is properly positioned, my fuel pump can lift up and out of your fuel tank. Be careful to not route the return fuel flow back into the “bucket area” and also use a 40 micron WEQ1040CLN before the fuel pump to prevent contamination to the fuel pump. Sure, if the pump is below the fuel level and fed from a sumped area the pump would operate more “freely” – but with my pump’s capabilities this is not an absolute necessity. There are many offroad and roadracing teams that position the pump exactly as you plan to and they all “lift” up and out of the cell. Now, if the pump is placed more than 8 – 10 inches above the top of the tank, a one-way check valve on the outlet side would be ideal to prevent the back-flow of fuel into the tank.
Good Luck and if you have any other questions, please call or email

Thanks,

So my general plan is 75micron filter bag on the pickup's, 10Micron before pump, 6 micron before injectors. (been the plan since day 1)

anyhow none of that really matters, but if you can make a good light twin 8an end to end hanger I'll be in if possible some 90 degree bends with a nice radius out of the top but you know what your doing.

early in the new year i will take a roll cage and then later on in the year a subframe and lower control arms

Put me on the 4 channel ABS list.

according to the Australian laws a Diagonally split ABS system means your not allowed to change anything with your rim/tyre size/offset as it introduces unpredictable effects... no way I'm getting defected because of ABS not being happy and it's illegal to remove it.
the other guys looking at ABS might want to figure out why there might be an issue...it would probably convince more people.
