I know you are not asking me, but

Yes, it is a standard 18mm x 1.5 to female 1/4" npt fitting that they are ripping people off for and the Fuel Safe inlet sock filter happens to fit on.

Shape the fitting inlet by chucking it up in a lathe and having at it with a file and emery paper after you rough in the angles w/ the lathe bit...

I did it with a die grinder. Start with a burr, move to sanding drums of various grit, then finish it off with a cross buff.

FYI Im still running with no fuel sock and all is well. Very quiet pump and tons of fuel.

In-Tank Surge

my setup is for the stock fuel tank, the aluminum oval shaped surge tank replaces the stock plastic unit. i changed my mind on using an aftermarket fuel sending unit so now i need to rotate the pumps 90 degrees and mount closer to the edge of the lid so i can fit the stock fuel level sender.... what makes it look like its not for the stock tank?

Awesome looking work! How do you feed your in-tank surge? And where did you get the electrical connector? (I only need 2 pins, but maybe I can find one in the same style). I have an FB, and I'm working on the same sort of basic thing, with an -023 pump to feed the surge tank, and an -044 pump with pump booster to feed the engine.

I know that the boosted -044 provides sufficient flow and pressure to support 0.9 Bar of boost and 420 RWHP, since I dynoed and drove it like that. By my calcs, I need nearly 250 LPH of fuel from my lift pump for continuous WOT power. I think the -023 will deliver enough. But just to be sure, I plan to test it with a stopwatch.

And BTW -- the coarse filter and -044 were already installed before I decided to add the Surge Tank, so that's where they're staying.
