Only the injection tanks had a return, most people weld / braze a return on to there tank. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Just make sure you get an MPi tank, the SPi tanks is only 1.5 bar. Plus use an intertia switch. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

If you are going to do that run your lines inside a steel tube to prevent any damage being inflicted on them. I run a 10mm feed and return, what ever pump you fit the feed line from the tank has gotto be of a greater ID than the entry fitting on the pump otherwise YOU WILL have fuel feed issues. Own the day

Plus use an intertia switch. you only need to supply fuel at 5psi of pressure at idle and the pump must be able to match the boost pressure. so if your running a standard turbo at 3-5psi of boost the fuel pump only need be able to make 10psi max so a 1.5 bar pump (21psi) is more than sufficient. Running a fuel pressure gauge is a good way of checking the condition of your fuel system. Own the day

I have a full set of pipes and several tanks taking up space up for grabs if you want them you will have to collect. Own the day

You could always use a standard tank with a T piece for the return....I do, Well its actually a fuel filter with 2 inlets. one comes from the tank, one from the regulator return. the outlet feeds the fuel pump which sends pressurised fuel to the regulator. There are a few others doing the same thing, it seems to work. Terry Sorry to dig this up again but i've been thinking about this as it seems a great way to get around having to mod tanks/get an injection tank. I found this little chappy: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/Pro...pcode=FSEMYP001 Up to the job of what you describe? I cant seem to find 2 inlet to one outlet filters anywhere if you can? As id prefer this, just so i can see the fuel's moving about! Edited by richminiturbo. on 23rd Aug, 2008. |

Yes it would do the job, but i decided to use a fuel filter as it gives a little resoviour of fuel which in my mind may help with any airation etc..
