Nice! I love it when the right parts magically appear.
That's what she said!
Go troll elsewhere!
I'm sorry. Is this your own, private bridge?
Dear GOD i hope not!
Yea a Ford 300.. tfi
Well, that escalated quickly...
Does anyone know if you can use an electric lift pump with dual tanks?
I did that on my truck. Place an inline pump downstream of your tank valve. Easy peasy.
Later rigs used multiple in-tank pumps, but that would be overkill.
Yeah I would just do a pump after the tank valve. Technically it should be as close to the tank as possible but you should be ok to move it up a few feet and have it "pull" the fuel a little farther since this isn't a high horsepower engine.
Ok perfect I kinda thought that would be ok, have you guys used the Facet pumps and had good luck?
I'm sure the factory lift pump is designed as a "sucker" pump but to my knowledge most electric pumps do better as a "pusher".How come? The factory mechanical pump is about as far away as you can get.
I am not familiar with those pumps. I have only used the Carter style pumps like what an older Cummins runs. Some day when I build a fuel pump/filter setup for mine I will use a Carter I think and a Fleetguard filter setup. What are the pressure and flow specs for the pump you are looking at?
I need it to keep up with the turbo setup. I don't know what the flow capacity is of the facet pump but it's 5-6psi I think.
Yeah I have no idea either. The carter I googled said like 6-8 psi and 100 gph free flow. They work on dodge cummins turbo engines so should be ok I bet.
