from the fuel tank I've got 2 fuel lines. I dont understand how to connect it all.
the new elect fuel pump has an input and an output. at the engine bay there looks to be 2 fuel lines coming from the fire wall. where does everything go? =-) when i broke it in on the bench i just ran 1 line from the temp fuel tank to the inlet of the pump.. the pump to the carb and that was it. i dont understand what the second fuel line is for. sorry 4 the simple questions........

FI uses a return line to the tank...plug the little one.

When I built my V8 conversion I removed all the original plastic lines. I ran one 3/8 metal line in place of the two plastic lines. I connected the two outputs from the Fuel tank together and ran that to the input of the fuel pump located on the front bulkhead. I then ran one line from the output of the pump to the new metal line back to the motor.

Not all FI uses a return.... (new GM LS-engines don't) but most in the past have.

A fellow V8 converter had so much problems with fuel starvation at races he thought it was a FI problem and reverted to carb. Comes to find out the guy who worked on his tank plugged the larger diameter fitting! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
