Guys need help on this if anyone knows it? Bosses car is small and only tank that will fit is a plastic tank with top outlets on it. I know electric pumps normally do not like to lift. Dodge diesel guys I know were using a pump to lift fuel up to the primary pump. What we need is a electric pump we can use as a lifting pump yet still flow enough through it to feed the primary pump and be able to handle 600 hp roughly. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Mount the pump below the tank, the siphon effect will feed the pump. You'll only need the one pump.

Was looking and seen they have diesel pump that will do 160 GPS but is says for everything but gas. May call company Monday and see what they say about gas in it.

Tank is in trunk. Car is 1948 Anglia ex drag car so almost no room back there between the cage and frame rails being made for street. When it was a drag car a small tank was in front of radiator. Now making it to run on street need more fuel.

Most folks are unaware that some fuel pumps are rated to lift gas from below them and don't need to be submerged or mounted lower than the fuel tank.

In fact, according to the guy who builds them, my previous Product Engineering fuel pump would lift fuel from as high as 7 feet above the fuel level. That pump is too much of a monster for the street though, so I downsized my fuel pump.

I currently have a 2 speed 160 GPH FuelLabs pump in my car that is mounted just below the top of my fuel tank. It sucks fuel from 2 Holly Hydramats at the bottom of my baffled tank. It's also quiet and safely tucked up under the car. It runs at a reduced speed until the secondary's are kicked in to lengthen its service life and circulate cooler fuel through bypass regulator.
