Well........



I'm curious. How much will the stock hardline flow?



My plan was/is:

Dual Warlboros in the tank

A Y to the stock fuel line



My Question is:

Should I do the Y in the tank, or outside it? Either way there isn't really much room.. I guess I could always run a -6 feed and use the stock return... But I don't know if I want to keep dumping hundreds of dollars into the goddamn fuel system when I see cars push 450 on the stock line.. What do you clowns think? I found a "Y" I can use in the tank.. It's for marine fuel systems.. It's some fuel resistant plastic compound.. I searched everywhere as I prefer a Y over a T (personal)...



I'm thinking.. 2 pumps > Y > Stock Outlet on Tank lid > Stock line to motor..



Anyone want to discuss? Or is there a cheap place to get -6 I can run from the tank to the front.. It wouldn't really NEED to be braided I wouldn't think.. but maybe I'm wrong...



Only other thing (EXPENSIVE) I thought of is:

2 Pumps > 2 fittings on tank lid > fuel block > -6 to the front of the car... That's GOTTA be lute though.. **** the block is 50 bones.



Any comments are appreciated. Thanks guys!

hmm I have no input on that but if you want an easy way out and a good setup PM Vosko. I pulled his fuel system out, the **** is rediculous. the fuel pump itself is the size of a fosters beer can!

Two pumps Y'd in the tank will work just fine, I have seen many setups like this. I wouldn't want to use the one stock line past 475rwhp though. I personally did away with the charcoal canister and used it's line as the return line. then I used the return line as a feed line. The hardest part is fitting the bulkhead fitting in the stock fuel pump cover. Up front everything is AN fittings and stainless hose. I Y'd 2 -6's into a -8 and converted all my fuel rails to -8 fittings.

If you have the aeromotive FPR, you can use that as a "Y". I have a similar setup as IGY's, except I used one fuel line to the primary, one fuel line to the secondary, then both exit and go to the FPR. From there, it hits the line that used to go to the charcoal canister.

Bump.



Was wondering... Is there a non-braided line that would be safe to run to the front of the car? (More affordable that way) Or should I just bite the pillow and do braided steel all the way (if I go that route)?



Thanks AGAIN.

Where would you get it? Is it a certain material? Or could I use hard rubber fuel line?
