Inline fuel pump?

[cowazuki]

I'm building a race truck Sidekick.......I took the tank out and I'm putting a Sami fuel tank in the back (inside). I need to find a cheap inline fuel pump from something (Junkyard), anything that might work............any ideas?????

Yep, f150 inline pump. Gobs of pressure though so you may want to grab a regulator depending on what motor set up you are using

[cowazuki]

I'm just running a stock 1990 motor.:ale:

It'll work. cause it's fuel injected. In fact the 1990 sammy requires more fuel pressure than both the 1.6 8 valve and the 16 valve. It's funny but thats the numbers.

Uh...... early 80's ? Werent those all mechanical till '87 ?

[TheSarg]

80-82 had in tank pumps seems all other 80's styles were mechanical. Tell me the pressure you need and ill tell u what pump u can use.

Any high pressure fuel pump will work. i think a 1.3 liter zook is up there in the 70psi range. Other wise the regulator will take care of the rest if it is too much pressure. ask for 1988-1989 ford broco II or f-150 4 or 6 cyl and they will do the trick.

So, why not using a 90 pump that comes with that motor ??? So far you havent given us any indication as to why your setup must differ.

cause the stock kick pump is an in-tank, and if hes using a pre-90 sammy tank, they got no pump in tank.

I've run upwards of 90 psi in my kick motor and it handled it fine. just make sure ur hoses are in good shape and the steel lines have flares on em when u go from rubber to steel and back (to keep hose from flying off)

why are you guys looking to run fuel pressures that high?
90psi is ALOT i mean holy shit
in my briothers honda that we are building, 12.7:1 compression 1.9L of displacement and 9500 + rpm we will only run in the neeighbourhood of 40-50psi.
If it;s a stock motor there should be no need ot run 90psi, unless i am missing somthing here, a stock pump should be just fine, no?

OK fine, so why not use a 90 kick tank, problem solved, no ? Why must we over complicate such a trivial issue ?

[Fullload]

Zc911 the stockers are not putting out 90psi's they are anywhere from 58-70psi. (that includes all 1.3 fuelies and 1.6's either 8 or 16 valve)
Depot was just refering to my point that it is better to have more than not enough PSI running, and how the regulator (hense it's name) will regulate how much the motor wants to take.

man thats still a ton of pressure for such a small motor.
Susuki must have went with some shitty injectors.
In the honda world it goes high pressure small injectors (240cc for example). The bigger the injectors (345cc for example) the lower fuel rail pressure you run.

Anyone have a pic of the fuel pump? If it can keep up with 90psi it might be cheap upgrade for a honda pump that really cannot take pumping 90psi

But you didnt answer nothing here. Why cant you use a 90 kick tank with the pump in it ?

[Depot]

prolly cause they are not that easy to find - at least not with good sender units in em.

Inline is so easy... 90 bucks at uap will set u up with an "import generic" high pressure pump. even cheaper.. go with late 80's ford 4/6 cyl bronco/150 from a wrecker... stick it near the tank, run wires to a switch or even an oil pressure safety switch (which I put on mudpigs truck - works darn nice - no switches, on with key, off when engine stalls or gets turned off). those switches go for ike 24 bucks at uap if memory serves me.

Not to mention, when i swamp my rig and get water in the gas tank, an inline makes it soooo easy to drain the tank.. disconect a hose, jump power to the pump and stand back and watch all those nasty H2O molecules pump away :D

oops, just saw u said 90 kick tank, not sammy tank...

good question... if this is going on a kick frame, then y not use a kick tank? if sammy frame, then i can understand a sammy tank - filler neck issues and xhaust routing... or are u jsut trying to jerry rig a fuel cell with the smaller sammy tank? more info pls
