Default Holley Hydramat success

Has anyone used a Holley hydramat in conjunction with dual walbro pumps to fix the starvation issue at lower fuel levels with a cut bucket? I saw a post over a year ago but it was only used to fill the bucket.

My thought is put a huge one in the bottom of the factory tank and hook up a couple 450's to it. Then it doesn't matter how much you hack up the bucket.

I too installed 2 450's and did not cut the bucket. I installed a siphon pump from radium auto and connected that to a piece of Hydramat. Thought was to suction through the Hydramat and into the bucket via the siphon pump. So far so good.

Yeah yours is the other set up I've seen and it looks good. I have an 02 so the only way to fit would be to basically hack it apart and I still haven't figured it if I can hook a hydro mat on the bottom of the feeds

Radiumauto in Portland Oregon makes a kit that attaches to the bottom of the walbro/TI automotive pumps and that would allow you to attach a hose and use the Hydramat to suck through. Just unsure of how much the Hydramat can flow attached on the suction side of a pump.

unfortunate it wont work with 450's. "NOTE: because of different architecture, the following turbine impeller style pumps will NOT work with this adapter: Walbro F9000262, F9000267, F9000273, F9000274 as well as AEM 50-1000, 50-1200, etc."
