Title: RRC PLASTIC TANK
Post by: sean m on December 28, 2008, 19:33:45

Does anyone know the output pressure of the internal pump in one of these tanks it will feed a 650 holley just need to know if i will have to use a regulater.

Pressure will be in excess of 35 psi, too much for a carburetor without a pressure regulator.

Ive got a Bowler Tomcat with a Holly carb on and that runs on an inline Facet fuel pump the same as when running normal carbs on a v8.

easiest way is to disconnect the wiring to internal pump an fit a facet pump instead usin the efi fuel pump wiring saves runnin a new ignition live to it

And just leave the EFi pump in there, redundant?

Ive got a facet one on at the moment its supply a 350 chevy (overfinch conversion) and i think its having a problem at higher rpm and ive got a couple of plastic tanks in workshop the one on vehicle is metal and ive had rust problems with them in the past.

They aren't instantly interchangeable.  the plkastic tank had the high filler and different mounts for a start.

Cool, let us know how you get on with that, it might be a useful mod as steel tanks all rust and the plastic one is bigger.

Is the plastic tank fitted to RRC the same those fitted to discovery and hangs about 2" inches below the chassis?

No, not quite.  It's a better fit on the RRC and sits higher, I guess there is more room for it somewhere else with the RRC being longer.
