Could I run a boat tank with an inline pump? If so, how would I go about doing the return line? I take out the fuel line hook up on the boat tank, run two lines through a piece of sheet metal, and screw that in place of the original fuel line hook up. gives u a return and a feed. just make sure u reach the botom of the tank. I also put a roll over valve in it, but thats just me. this way tanks can still be used for carb applications. as an added measure i seal it all up with sealer around the plate. |

1992 Honda, I'm running a race but must move factory tank to back seat area, my question is can I just cut the gas line and extend them with rubber line? Will regular 3/8 hoes clamps be enough to hold the pressure? And will I have to hook up return line also?

Will regular 3/8 hoes clamps be enough to hold the pressure? And will I have to hook up return line also? I would recommend replacing the whole line. Try and be as safe as possible. |

New here so bare with me
Running mini smash up in Ontario
97 cavalier
I took the stock fuel pump and stripped it to the bare pump.
I have a marine tank on which it has a steel line going down to draw fuel for a boat. I'm going to strap the pump to that line and run the line to the top of tank with barb and a barb for return. Run two wired to a universal pigtail so I can use with any car.
Will this work? Why and why not? Will post pics later

Will post pics later Welcome to wecrash! good to have another Canadian on here. by your wording of minismash your running thrillshow. correct? picturing what your saying in my mind you want to add a pigtail to the pump? on the pump there should be 2 wires left after you rip everything off the pump. a positive and a negative. you want to run those wires into a snap together clip and then be able to just hook into any kind of car?

Right. I'm running with trillshow. Tillsonburg this weekend. Right with the wires. And I know some vehicles won't work because of the fuel pressure will be different but for Chevy cars should work. |

And I know some vehicles won't work because of the fuel pressure will be different but for Chevy cars should work. ive never hooked up a pig tail before for my wiring, I just have those 2 wires negative go right to the battery and then run the positive to the 2 switches required for fuel system hook.
ive never had a problem with different cars requiring different fuel pump pressure, I know some do require more but ive run the same tank in almost all my cars with the same fuel pump. Volvo/ford/Chrysler/ and ive been using a chevy Silverado pump.

Ive been building a couple of new fuel cells after years of using boat tanks which im getting heavier into running compacts now than full size. So ive been making mine out of 1/4 inch plate and making them a 1'x1' box for the pump mounting and pickup and return a 2000 ford f150 sending unit works great because it uses a thick rubber gasket and already has mounting holes in it and also because you can attach any pump to it you want.
