I wasn't reporting because I kept thinking that I could make some tweaks to get fuel pressure to where it needed to be. Someday, when I get a reliable fuel system, I'll be able to get a full pull without KR. For now, it felt pretty good before it started going lean. I'd say it even felt as good with the ambient in the 80's as it did when it was in the 50's before the 102. Time for twin in-tank twin-turbo Supra pumps.

I'm definitely going with twin 1020s, but they won't fit through the opening in my year 2000 tank. I am going to make a tank out of stainless, that way I can build-in a trap door system. I can't think of any other way to have a factory level of reliability in an in-tank system. No keeping the tank half full because of a butchered fuel bucket, etc. The pumps are going to be about $300, the steel is going to be about $300, and probably $75 in hose and fittings. It's starting to look like I might have to get a job.

You can hot wire two pumps while maintaining factory fuel buckets and sending unit accuracy.Plus one tank could be e85/race gas while the other runs pump.
One could technically run 2-4 pumps and still have a pretty accurate gauge.This is also a cheap alternative.

I mean is there something about f-body tanks specifically? Like the shape or something? Or did you just chose them because of availability?

They are small enough to run in place of the factory tank.You would get lil more capacity plus they will tuck better.The bucket sits in fuel more often too especially at wot.
