Re: Project: Recycle
Thanks. I'm going to have to play catch-up on your Burb thread.

I chose the 99-03 Silverado pump due to it being taller and I like the idea of every time I replace the fuel filter, I will be replacing the regulator as well with the Corvette style filter/regulator.

Ok.... I just answered my own question. Looks like it's a simple one in; two out. Which one of the outlets is the return to the tank? I guess these have a very high success rate of operation w/o the regulator failing? Or, is it because like you mentioned, it's replaced frequently enough that it doesn't see opportunity for service life related failure?

Re: Project: Recycle
These are the instructions for the Summit kit that includes the AN Adapter fittings, which shows how the supply and return lines work.
I have heard of problems with the Tanks, Inc. filters leaking, but haven't heard of problems with the regulator. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/c...0263/overview/

Re: Project: Recycle
Seriously? These things have problems because the pump runs all the time? I put the same setup in my 89 mustang, ran the chit out of that beast for 8 years no problems. I know that sucker didn't regulate the pump running as needed, it ran constant. Daily drove that sucker for many of those years too. Hard to imagine that but I learn something new every day.

Re: Project: Recycle
The LS pcm is controlling the pump in my setup. Wouldn't that be the deciding factor of controlling the fuel pump? The brains that calculates cycles, pressure, and volume? So is it the pcm that changes in recent years that makes that change or are they building in a processor on these fuel pumps now?

I just want to make sure I'm getting a set-up that supports 400rwhp & can do its job for extended tanks of gas/miles/distance w/o causing an early pump death. I really like the Tanks Inc retro set-up. Just trying to make sure things work in an extended driver application.

Re: Project: Recycle
TA
all the ecm does is send a signal to the pump to run,,,no cycles,pressure or volume... pressure is controlled by the reg..

Re: Project: Recycle
I was hanging out with friends in driveway and had a few beers that night guys, yeah I posted a couple dumb statements lol. I think I even mention in my thread how the fuel filter/regulator is what REGULATES the fuel lol. Just disregard all my statements guys, my bad...

Re: Project: Recycle
From what I have learned:
-The fuel filter/regulator in the sketch is the stock setup used in 1999 Corvette. I am running the same set up in my Willys. An in tank fuel pump will last years running continuously as that is the way most were set up until the last several years. Certainly a PWM pump will last even longer, but is it worth it? -The problem with PWM fuel pumps - The pump I guess is the same, but the on/off switching often comes from a separate controller (not from the PCM). If your pump goes out and you replace it, the controller has to be reset/calibrated at the dealership before the pump will work. Full disclosure- I don't know this from experience, only from research as I was trying to find out how to use a PWM controlled fuel pump using junkyard parts. After finding that story I decided a 99 vette fuel filter was good enough for me..... |

I just know of more than one guy I follow on IG was having problems w/fuel starvation (during spirited driving & autocross; or driving w/less than 1/4 tank) on the Tanks Inc stock-tank retrofit set-up & were searching for an alternative. This is why I was thinking about possibly adding additional baffling & pick-ups if I ultimately did the Tanks Inc set-up using the GM/Vette style Filter + Regulator combo. I was also considering the remote Surge Tank alternatives (FiTech; Edelbrock). But, that works for the SBC/BBC carb fuel system that has the ability to run a mechanical fuel pump to supply the surge tank (or you're dependent on a 2nd electric pump). Swap to an LS & you're doing things over. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible..... once.

Re: Project: Recycle
Hey did you ever think about using the HydraMat systems? This might be exactly what your looking for. Little pricey but I saw this get installed on an episode of powernation detroit muscle. You can get one that covers the whole bottom of the tank and it's fitted with AN fittings. Boom.

So far his limited time has yielded some issues but thus far he feels it's thermal related (exhaust tail pipe that runs extremely close to the side/length of the tank due to real estate issues). Still watching his progress after he tried heat shield wrapping & as barrier between the to parts to see if there's any improvement.

Re: Project: Recycle
I'm surprised he went with such a small sock and not the one that blankets the whole bottom of tank. But I'm sure he has a reason. Our big tanks could stand the large sock I would think. It covers the whole tank so it never runs out of fuel no matter what direction the forces are. I'm sure you will figure this out though, I will just be excited to see what you go with and hopefully some details with pics of install

Re: Project: Recycle
0I have 2 buddies using them on their hot rods w/o issue but never considered it because I'm not a fan of the ECU sitting on top of the motor soaking in all the heat. Same reason I wouldn't do the Sniper set-up either.

Re: Project: Recycle
He's done more than 1 Volvo but anything Sean builds (IG = hackster1) is worth the time it takes to read about it. He really has great attention to the details.
