Which Bike Fuel Pump?
I want to simplify the fuel pump setup on my single seater - I currently have a low pressure pump, low pressure filter, swirl pot, high pressure pump
and high pressure filter. Whilst this works, it's heavy and there's a lot to go wrong.
I want to change this to a single high pressure bike pump mounted in the base of the tank but I don't have much room (none) below the tank.
I'm considering raising the tank a little and using a bike pump fitted to the base of the tank, or using an in tank pump (but not quite sure how
these fit! I’ve got a Blackbird pump but this would need about 5” below the tank! I also have a Subaru in tank pump but have no idea how I’d fit
this!
Any thoughts?
Regards
Wyn

The in tank pumps do just what it says on the tin, fit in the tank. You would need a pump of suitable depth to suit your tank & would need to
drill & cut a suitable mounting hole & location for the pump & outlet pipe in the tank. I use a Toyota unit which fits from the top of the
tank, not sure if some of the bike ones may fit & exit at the base of the tank? HTH
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Thanks Guys
bigrich - that's what I want to do but I don't have much space - the base of the tank currently sits on the floor so I'd have to
raise the tank by about 6" to get yours to fit!

I have seen used in the top of the tank a pump assy from a Land Rover Discovery 1 V8, it has the pump, sender and swirl pot in one unit. It has
adjustable depth from 250mm to 350m approx. I can supply the part number if required.
