Need to build an aluminum fuel sump (have a custom fit aluminum fuel tank) to relocate my fuel outlet lower (from the top of tank) and relocate my electric fuel pump lower. Not for drag racing, but long story about vapor lock at the Cobra Bash ....
(Electric fuel pump is about 6" above tank with fuel pick up tube ... this is BAD for Aeromotive A1000 electric fuel pump)
Can not weld the steel Competitive Engineering fuel sump pan on my aluminum tank and will have to go custom built aluminum. Can not use fuel cell, don't want to cut up the tank and put the pump in the tank.
Any recommendations on the SIZE of the fuel sump when running fuel injection and Areomotive A1000 electric fuel pump? Smaller vs. Larger? Looking at 10" deep x 8" wide by 3 1/2" tall. (this would keep bottom of fuel sump parallel with pavement and allow me to go in/out of the garage). Could go wider (up to 36") for larger fuel capacity (adds 2 gallons), but would probably have to add baffels 12" apart to reduce sloshing.
People have cautioned me about the sump and fuel line getting ripped out on speed bumps and trash on the road. Any HORROR stories out there about your fuel sump?
