Interesting how times change yet we old timers don't. The origial fuel pump setups in the 60's used a self priming pump to prime fuel and a "driver" to push it. The first pump was allways a low pressure setup. Todays pumps will all "self prime" given enf ' ol time. O.K. fer the "street" but not so neat fer racin' per Sizzlers line setup. I think thats the main reason the factory puts them in the tank on fuel injected cars, per Excaliber.
Edly Rondinone - I just got my car NHRA inspected and my inspector insisted that the pumps only reqirement was that it be mounted to the inside of the frame containment area of the car, in case of a smackup. That would rule out Jamo's exteral mount pumps.
Speaking of safety- Jamo, my car car has two kill switches, wired in series to the positive side. One to the external trunk, one behind the driver. They both need to me on, for the car to go. I am looking at a tipover kill system at the moment, (both fuel and electrical) but I am running a duel battery setup that "compounds" issues. Of course the batterys are in containment boxes.
My NHRA ispector has "requested" that I run a metal bulkhead between the passenger compartment and the fuel cell. So much for that wonderfull fiberglass body that I'm so proud of. I ramble.
