I was discussing the other day the complexity of the fuel systems when using twin tanks and fuel inection. Interestingly an Aeromotive agent suggested using only one pump for all.
Having thoughts would it not be much simpler, less time consuming,cheaper and reducing the amount of pipework running in what's already a reduced working area.
What do you think.... pro's and con's ?
Two tanks but only using one with the second tank as storage.
Tank 2 ( drivers side ) full of fuel with a small flow sized pump, nrv and filter. Switched on only when needed to top up the first tank. Simple -6 hose from tank 2 to tank 1.
Tank 1 an Aeromotive A1000 h.p. pump mounted anywhere as it can easily suck sufficient fuel from the tank with an nrv and course filter between the tank and the pump.
This directly feeds to a swirl pot, another fine filter and straight to the injectors.
The fuel regulator has a single return to the swirl pot and thereafter return to the no 1 tank.
Circulating fuel through tank 1 only.
No solenoids, no low pressure fuel pumps, less hoses, less cost, more space
What say you ?
