Install In-tank Bosch 044
Haven't gotten any fittings and fuel lines for the fuel system but will want to know the best in-tank setup for a single Bosch pump before I start buying things like fittings and lines. All I need is some guidance and help like what to buy and such to make my fuel setup happen. Thanks in advance.

Places like Pegasus and Jay racing have the required lower fitting/sock, and the upper fitting, including a needed check valve (the 044 doesn't have one), and -6 to 5/16" hose barb adapter. From there it's east, just shorten the tube on the fuel pump tree, run a couple inches of SUBMERSIBLE fuel hose to the pump, strap it on the tree and go.
I isolated the pump with some 1/8" thick viton, and it's really not that noisy—and I like that it's OEM technology.

044 is a good pump but very outdated and is not E85 rated. Modern pumps are more efficient, quieter, and draw less amperage. I would go with a Walbro 450 for most goals around 500-550whp. E85 can eventually deteriorate stock rubber hoses as well as oil control rings, rear main seals, etc if they are not rated for it. Just because it seems to work doesn't mean it is recommended or won't cause issues in the long run.
