Thanks guys.

Still haven't sorted out the cause of the fuel issue but can now say with the main pump directly connected I'm getting about 300kPa to the rails which is in spec for the car.

Sadly the pump has fried itself and it doesn't take long to start hunting and you can listen to the pump and watch the pressure die simultaneously. The pump will be going back but I'm not sure how I'll go under a warranty claim.

My saving grace is that after I fitted the pump, to be able to make a ten minute trip, the pump started making some noise and so I took the car straight back to the pump supplier's shop (Petroject) and had the fellow come out and listen and comment. We will see.

I wonder whether I should bite the bullet and modify the tank to have an in tank pump? Suggestions?

Unless your car's constructed of all new bits, the roadworthy is really to cover secondhand parts use type issues, so I gather. You may also need your receipt for your engine and hopefully engine number if you have it. Oh and of course your VASS certificate from your engineer.

You will need that silly sticker I talked about in that other thread to warn passengers they are getting into a really dangerous car, as if they didn't know this already!! Plus tyre and engine configuration placards.

Tyre placard and crash testing placards came from my engineer and eng config. from a Ford dealership spare parts contact I have.

Anyway any pump option comments would be appreciated, as the Bosch option is not cheap.

Cheers
