Why not just replace the in tank one? Unless you have some sort of surge tank, the external one will most likely pull more than the in tank one can supply.

As far as the plumbing goes, the stock supply line comes from the in tank pump, so whatever you hook to it is only going to get whatever the in tank pump is putting out. I really see no point in drilling any holes, since you need to empty and drop the tank anyways, so why not just replace the in tank one while it's off the car?

Agreed ^^ please do not drill holes in your fuel tank unsafe and asking for trouble. Better off just replacing the factory unit. Might as well upgrade to a racetronix while your at it.

Yes. The harness below it is HIGHLY recommended. I went from 12:1afrs to 9:1afrs on the same tune WITH swapping the M62 to a Harrop.

Hot damn, glad i picked one up! Do you still have stock lines to and from the fuel rail?



Re: Fuel pump ??

Yep, still on the stock lines. Just keep in mind that i was tuned in the lower 12:1 AFRs to maintain a 85% duty cycle. The 9:1 AFRs where on the higher end, but still that isnt a bad improvement. After we dialed the fuel back in with the Harrop i was down to a 75% IDC with the same injectors. I did also have 95k miles on the stock pump.

Check the lines to the actual pump in the tank...one is probably off.....or leaking.

Tinkles you used the W body pump? In my thread some said it is "slack" in the fuel cup but the LS1 pump has a sleeve that holds it securely. Thoughts?

That is correct.

My F-body pump in my 99 tank is in a rubber cup. There is a little "movement", but it works fine.

We finally figured out the low psi on the racetronics in my friends turbo ln2. We dropped the tank and pulled the module to find that the filter that goes over the inlet of the pump was being sucked up by the ractronix, after a few months of random saturdays here an there with testing fpr, fuel filters and everything we could think of it was just the supplied pump filter. Once we removed it and got the car going afr's were so rich in boost the car didn't want to run in boost at all it just was too rich....so i'd start there if your fuel filter and fpr are fine.

That's exactly what we were running into, try removing that pump filter and see if that fixes your issue.

So did you guys leave the filter off completely?

I have the racetronix installed like stock no issues.

Yes we removed the filter completely on his car and it solved all our fueling issues, On my car I've left the intank.filter on my racetronix and all is well.
