formula_raider Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I was going to start on my fuel system for my LS1 swap into a 73 240z. I really want to keep my stock tank and not have to cut anything. I have read through many articles on welding in a sump but I swear I read on the forum that somebody used a BC Broncos fuel accumulator/filter on their stock tank w/o welding in a sump and they had great results with no fuel starvation even with some autocross time. I would like to know that setup if someone knows who that is or who has possibly done it. I will be using the standard walbro pump, and corvette fpr that most everyone uses.

240z72 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Id weigh you options. Cost of what it takes to keep the stock tank vs a nice sumped fuel cell. You will have to use aftermarket fuel lines anyway. Good luck on the project! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofA_ZCar Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I modified the stock tank and in retrospect I would have just used a universal tank or fuel cell.......room for duel exhaust and less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighft01 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I modified the stock tank and in retrospect I would have just used a universal tank or fuel cell.......room for duel exhaust and less expensive. I used an F-Body fuel tank, you have to spin it 180 degrees to get the filler neck on the right side but not hard. Looks good too like it was made for this car. I run the factory F-body pump with an inline pump and 60lb injectors and dont have any fuel issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased a 2002 Z28 and getting ready to do my swap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeboshi Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Which f body? Aren't there like 4 generations? I'm very interested in this as it would make my fuel problems easier to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read through many articles on welding in a sump but I swear I read on the forum that somebody used a BC Broncos fuel accumulator/filter on their stock tank w/o welding in a sump and they had great results with no fuel starvation even with some autocross time. I would like to know that setup if someone knows who that is or who has possibly done it. I will be using the standard walbro pump, and corvette fpr that most everyone uses. That was me. This setup worked without any issues for over a year of driving/autocross. I wanted to run the Bosch 044 pump instead of the walbro so I switched to the surge tank below. It works well too. http://www.034motorsport.com/fuel-injection-solutions-fuel-pumps-fully-enclosed-fp34-044-fuel-surge-tank-p-21527.html Edited October 28, 2012 by h4nsm0l3m4n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
