Quick tank Q? Outlet smaller than pump inlet?
Turbo Mini Forums

Just hit a wee bit of a snag and cant work it out. The outlet on my fuel tank is smaller than the inlet on the metty fuel pump? How do i get around this?


Any help much appreciated.

Think i just used 8mm ID hose, its a bitch to get on the pump tho.. or you could use a fuel filter with different size inlet and outlet.

Hi,
Really you need a bigger pipe fitting into the tank, otherwise you could have fuelling problems.

Hi,
You may get away with it, but the inlet on the pump is 10mm for a reason
Also on the standard pick up pipe is a small filter which adds to the restriction.
Cheers,

Ahhh, Hmmm. Erm, think i might try get a filter with a smaller inlet and bigger outlet to make it fit or i could try get the 8mm hose on. Bugger. Dont really wanna have to make the tank outlet bigger.
