can anybody help, i need to know what sort of fuel pump i use on my MK indy, im using their tank an im running it on a 2.0litre zetec on bike carbs also what do i do with the outlet on top do i drill a hole if so what size?
Some may say use a bike fuel pump, i've use a Facet solid state fast road fuel pump with a FilterKing/Malpassi fuel regulator set to 2lbs (this
pressure may vary with your carbs)

Sorry to hijack this thread,
Dave, How do you measure the pressure that you set the filter king to?
I have just installed one and not adjusted, certainly not measured it.
You can use a fuel pressure gauge ,or you can measure the amount height the fuel will pump up a tube 'head of fuel'.
1 psi of water would = roughly 27.7" of head
1 psi of petrol is roughly 39" of head ,therefore the pump and regulator should pump fuel up to 78" for 2 psi.
What I actually did was use a cheap fuel pump gauge but calibrated it first with 55.4" of water in tube.
All those programmes like 'Blue Peter' and 'How' were not wasted on me!!!!
Go for the bike pump! See this recent posting:
