FUEL TANKS FUEL PUMPS

HI FOLKS

YOU CAN GO TO ANY JUNK YARD AND GET A PUMP AND A TANK-----AND IT WOULD WOULD BE BETTER FOR YOUR APPLICATION IF YOU GOT A SYSTEM TANK AND PUMP.....

I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IF YOUR USING 2 TANKS OR NOT OR JUST WANT TO---IF YOU DO EACH TANK MUST HAVE IT'S OWN PUMP.....IF YOUR USING FUEL INJECTION OF ANYTYPE YOU HAVE TO USE A INTANK PUMP AND NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO MAKEA FRAME PUMP WORK IT NEVER WILL.....I MADE THE MISTAKE OF TRYING TO USE A OUTSIDE PUMP AND NEVER WAS ABLE TO HOLD FUEL PRESURE....NOT UNTILL I MOUNTED THE PUMP IN THE TANK------86-BURB---40 GALLON TANK-----

I DO CARRY A OUT SIDE OF THE TANK PUMP WITH ME SHOULD I BE OUT AND HAVE THE TANK PUMP QUIT......

BUT NOT UNTILL I PUT THE PUMP IN THE TANK--- DID I OR COULD I EVER GET THE RITE FUEL PRESURRE---WITH ANY TYPE OF REGULATOR.....OR PUMP----AND I WENT THROUGH 3 TYPES OF FRAME PUMPS--INCLUDING THE FORD PUMP....

ANYWAY I HOPE THIS HELPS ALITTLE----BY THE WAY THE HOLLEY AFTERMARKET--INTANK FUEL PUMP---IS NOT THAT SPENDY-----A INTAKE FUEL PUMP AT THE JUNK YARDS---IS AROUND 65-BUCKS--AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL QUIT......AND THE HOLLEY YOU CAN GET WITH A DISCOUNT FOR ABOUT---85 DOLLARS.....AND LASTS---100,000 MILES.....

GOOD LUCK---AS THIS WAS A BIG PROBLEM FOR US WITH OUR SUBURBAN...
