No. The front end spins worse than rear. Im just trying to upgrade fuel system cause inline walbro isnt doing the trick.

Racecars and continuous street duty aren't necessarily the same

Thanks Oleg. On another note, i made this thread to show off my fuel cell and get opinions, not start a fight over the fuel pump. The fuel pump is a personal opinion. I have seen hundreds of them and like said above, if you run big enough lines they will hold up.....even to continuous duty.

Nice tank. Give the pump mfg a call and see how they would want the system set up.

I think your return should be larger then your feed. You want little to zero psi in that line. It can effect how the rest of the system works.

Are your planning to have the pump inside or outside the tank?
Nice freind to do that work for y'all. Post up some install pics once you get it all bolted up.

The pump is going to be outside the tank. Having a -10 feeding pump with a -8 going to motor. Ive never heard of running a bigger return. Ill check into that.

Lol moze, im guessing your talking about the bracket welds. Those were made with a spool gun and i dont care what they look like. The actual tank welds which were done by tig welding are awesome but thanks for the honesty.
