Is there anyone who has installed an in tank fuel pump on his Plymouth B-body?

I have a Fitech EFI, 30002, with the Fuel command center, however I don't want to use the FCC. I want a clean engine bay. Besides that the in tank fuel pump reduces chance of vapor lock.

I found out that Spectra sells a Classic Fuel Injection Tank with pump, partnumber CR9CFI with the following specifications:

55-85 psi
200 LPH/58.6 GPH

The EFI throttlebody needs 58 psi and the FCC delivers 340 LPH so the Spectra tank isn't an option.

Which brand/partnumber did you use?

tanksinc is what my car is getting

Pretty sure the spectra will work fine. The throttlebody has a return line anyway.

Any other options then the tankinc?

Don't mind to fabricate an in tank pump in the old tank.

Buy a Tanks Inc pump and their weld-in tank adapter and you're off to the races.

So is the FiTech Fuel Command Center is obsolete if you have an in tank pump?

I modified my 64 b-body tank to install an Aermotive Phantom 340 pump. Works fine and is quite.

I bought a TanksInc tank and a Aeromotive 340 pump with the JakeFab puck. No concerns.

If the in tank pump is sufficient to feed the injectors then yes, the command center is not needed.

I went with a TanksInc tank for my 68 Charger and I'm not very happy with it. I used their in-tank pump setup and I will not go this route again. I had clearance problems and leak problems. In my other car (69 GTX) I used a stock tank (Spectra IIRC) and an Aeromotive Stealth 340 pump. In this case a hole was cut in the top of the tank, pump installed and the tank sealed back up. Two AN fittings are welded to the top of the fuel pump cover. Much cleaner and less prone to leak. The TankInc uses NPT fittings.

I have no issues with NPT fittings, but the TanksInc fuel pump solution is quite mediocre. In my opinion. I bought a JakeFab puck, which also uses NPT fittings, but worked out well for me. No leaks out of the gate.

I'm finishing up my install with the Spectra EFI tank based on your input.
Will report back if I can ever get this thing done, seems like every time I take a step forward, I find 2 other things that need fixed.

Thats a stock spec tank fitted with a Stealth 340 pump. I have a carb setup with return. I wish my fab skills were that good. This is a product of Ricks Tanks
