Blazer tank and fuel injection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ackattack · 08-14-2007, 01:45 AM

I originally wasn't going to run a blazer tank because I thought they hung down too low, but after seeing one installed in person I don't think it will be a problem.

My next concern is, is it going to work with a fuel injected LS1? Don't most fuel injection tanks have baffles in them?

I was also looking at fuel cells @ Summit. They have some with foam in them....will this work with fuel injection.

Right now with my 72, I'm running the stock tank with fuel injection, and as long as I don't let it run too dry (<1/8 tank) I don't have any isssues.

I would make sure it has the baffels inside it no matter what tank it is. I ran the foam in my tank for awhile with no trouble. I bought the foam at a race car shop. Make sure you run a pre filter on the inside of the tank though. I had mine at first without the baffels and it would let the sending unit go all over the place when I was driving it.

Do ya'll have in-tank fuel pumps, or in-line? Just curious......I am trying to decide which to get for my set-up...

Thanks

I was looking at the same thing earlier...They run around $ 220.....
But they are adjustable, and you can fit them in most tanks......
