jumpman2334 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 speaking of this, does anyone know where a thread is on how to install one? not like mount it. but to hook up all the fittings, and what fittings to buy. and would i need to buy a new fuel pump? i got a 10gal RCI cell at a great price, compared to online retailers. but i dont know how to hook it up =[ well i understand that i need a -8 fitting. but i just dont know how to hook that up to the fuel pump.

garvice Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 but i dont know how to hook it up =[ You might be on the wrong forum mate. If you need help with specifics then ask specific questions. If it is a question like, "How do I rebuild my car" or "How do I plumb in a Fuel Cell" then you are going to get ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Jumpman; you are on the right forum, but you need to post specifics on your car before we can answer anything. A simple description of your car's intake and fuel system would help. Fuel is very dangerous. It also has a way of spreading around before it ignites and engulfs the entire car. Don't get too creative with plumbing. Stick to factory type fittings and use high-pressure-rated, fuel-injection hose for electronic-injection type systems. If you are replumbing the entire car, then there are some specifics to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 For Morex; You have quite a job ahead of you. The old lines are often rusty and unsafe near the battery area. The factory steel lines are relatively small, the return and vent lines are way too small IMO. If you want to use a surge tank you need to replace hardline-plumbing for sure. The filler neck is hard to replace without modifying the exterior bodywork, or resorting to opening up the rear hatch for refills. Safety requires that the tank be behind a bulkhead and removed from the driver's compartment somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moerex Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 thanks bjhines. i'm running through several ideas. including making an inspection lid in the trunk area or some how fabbing a filler neck to the original location. we will see.
