Six_Shooter Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Wow, talk about complicating the fuel hose routing... On my car (a 1973 240Z), I ran a new 3/8" feed line, and used the original feed line for return. I installed a 90* fitting to the tank bottom, where the original drain is located, feed line then goes to a Walbro pump in the stock location, behind the axle and next to the right rear tire. The fuel filter is located above the pump, then feeds the new 3/8" line that runs up along the original fuel line path, then loops behind the engine where it connects to the fuel rail. The FPR is located in the spot where the original mechanical pump was located, where the outlet then goes to the original feed line, that returns the excess fuel back to the tank. I've been running this for 4 years, without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan95i4 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Six_Shooter, I was thinking about doing somethign similar after digging around here and some other Z forums. Do you happen to recall what size/thread pitch the stock drain plug on the gas tank was? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't recall what it was, what I do recall is that I ran a pipe tap into it, to use an off the shelf 90* pipe nipple, IIRC I used a 3/8" NPT tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildsquare Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Could you repost the pics? Have the idea in my head. Just need to see it for it to click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
