Got another question for the Ford guys.

Got another question for the Ford guys here. Can the stock fuel tank be made to work with a fuel injected 5.0? Can I add bigger fuel outlets from the tank. It is already out of the car and has been cleaned and sitting for about a year now. I was thinking of, maybe drilling out the old fuel line and tapping/epoxying in a larger one. What are some of the things you have done?

I suppose you could use the stock tank. I believe Scotty(GNZ) used one for a while.

 

I removed the stock tank, removed the spare tire well and installed an RCI 16 gallon polyurethane fuel cell centered between the rear frame rails. I didn't use the stock tank for two reasons:

First, my stock tank had sat for twelve years with fuel in it (yuk!).

Second, I wanted to run dual exhaust(one out each side). If I had it to do again, I would use a better cell (ATI or Fuel Safe), as the poly cells tend to deform.

 

I am using an MSD fuel pump (P/N 5252?). The pump is mounted low in the rear), and is powered by the EEC-IV computer and Ford Fuel pump relay. (important: the inlet of the pump should be at or below the bottom of the tank)
