BobsZTwins Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I just finished modifying my tank to accept an Airtex 99-02 F-body fuel pump module. Started with using my shop-vac to blow all the vapors out Then cut a hole in the top and welded on the VetteWorks retaining ring. Then did a test fit of the module in the tank and set the tank in place to locate where to cut the hole in the hatch floor. A friend donated a storage bin lid that I refinished to cover the hole. But I needed to build a base to accommodate the increased height of the tank + module + plumbing + wiring. Some 3/4" plywood, pieces of Home Depot paint stir stick and piece of aluminum angle did the trick. I think it turned out pretty good!

Jay Gadsby Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Looks awesome! I wish my building was farther along and I had more notes to pass on to others, but I am glad to see it work for you. Have you gotten it running with that setup yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobsZTwins Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yep, took it for a test drive down to the gas station to fill it up and check for leaks. All's good! The pump is SOOO much quieter than the external! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pump is SOOO much quieter than the external! Just what I wanted to hear (pun intended). Great work! Chris, I have read his stuff over the years, lots of good info for sure.

TeemuM Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Heres how I modified my tank. It fits to original place and seems to work fine. That Speedhut fuel sender did not work with E85 so I needed to change it to sender with float. Edited May 25, 2016 by TeemuM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
