EFI fuel pump considerations - 09/12/08 07:29 AM
I need some help putting together a fuel system on my Magnum swap. I am using a 94 5.2 with the stock MPFI. The injectors call for 35-40 pounds of pressure. My first thought was to use a cheap Summit inline pump in the frame rail and a regulator. However, my 70 truck still has the in cab tank. Technically the pump would be below the tank by about 9 inches, however the tank outlet is nearly 3 feet above the pump. Will that be an issue?
A return line could be an issue. Do the returns have to go back to the tank? or can they tee in to the line behind the pump?
I am not wanting to get to fancy, this is going to be temporary until the rest of the truck is done and back on the road. Then I will begin plans on a under the bed fuel cell which will hopefully utilize the Rams in tank pump and regulator. This is all new ground for me!
