New fuel lab in tank pump

fuel lab has new pump out that is intank and is supposidly able to add up to 3 supra pumps im told and is completely compatible with alcohol fuel including e85 and methanol. I would post a link or some pics if their website wasn't down at the moment. I met a guy this weekend who is using it in his supra and is thrilled with it. He is running on e85 and has been for a while. Has anyone else had any experience or heard anything through the grapevine?

I will try to post pics and/or a link as soon as there website is back up

the other intrest that i had was that it is just one pump which should save my motor if one pump goes out and i try to do a pull then all of a sudden NO FUEL! Where as with 1 pump it just doesnt start if it goes bad. not to mention i think the price of 1 fuel lab pump that does the job of 3 supra pumps is the price of 1 supra pump.

I ran dual Walbros for 5 years.
Getting them in the tank was a trick! Can't imagine pushing 3 of them in there!

I think he was trying to say that the new pump flows as much as 3 supra pumps, not that they actually use 3 pumps. Atleast I hope thats what he means. I run dual walbros now also, andim planning on running dual Bosch pumps soon, and i hear the dual Bosch are a biatch to get in the tank.

No way you will get both of them in there. Try this!

this one. seems like it should support up to 1000hp on e85. not that i plan on ever making that much, but it would be nice to know i have the fuel to do so.

on second thought I think that the fuel lab pump may be the same as the sx pump that rxtasy57 made another thread about. Is there any difference between sx and fuel lab.

The first lasted maybe a couple hours. The second after they were redesigned to be more "reliable" lasted longer, but still died on us..

The whole idea of RXtasy's setup is that Fuel slosh doesnt happen when your surge tank is pressurized! (Theres a bunch of other reasons why his setup is like it is too)

Ernie-t runs dual bosch intanks. He uses the cj motorsports pump hanger with the dual pump bracket. Said its tight, but it fits..
