quick question... which fuel line is supply to the fuel dizzy? im assuming its the braided line...

Smokestack · « **Reply #81 on:** March 26, 2010, 12:20:46 PM »

That would be my guess, but you can always hook power up to the pump and see which line spits crap out.

0dd_j0b · « **Reply #82 on:** March 26, 2010, 12:37:09 PM »

yes, the braided line goes into the fuel filter.

the rubber return hose (I think) is just below the supply line in that picture. Picture won't work with paint for whatever reason so I can't make arrows.

Generally speaking, feed line is larger than return line.

ALso, I would be money that fuel filter setup isn't rated to 80-100 psi which a CIS system can easily do. Be careful.

damn it. it's for carbed. damn it damn it damn it, i scuffed and primed it earlier today.

just convert to carbs

Smokestack · « **Reply #88 on:** March 27, 2010, 07:19:33 AM »

Are you going EFI or CIS? It might be able to handle EFI. You can also install it between the pre-pump and the main pump since pressure on that end is low.

greggearhead · « **Reply #89 on:** March 27, 2010, 07:30:58 AM »

I bet the micron filtering level isn't appropriate for injection, though. Carb jets can swallow way more than injector orifices.

from what i've collected, there is only one pump... i think im just gonna get thr propper filter. oh well, i thought this one would look cool

greggearhead · « **Reply #91 on:** March 27, 2010, 12:25:00 PM »

Yep - Mk1s had only the pressure pump outside the tank, and if you put a restriction before that, it tends to kill the pump.

I'd have to look up the specs on the filter, IIRC, the original FRAM (from which its duplicating) is rated to 100PSI operating... if he's going to run Digifant or MegaSquirt the FPR is only holding about 3-4 BAR. He should be OK to use that filter, I already plan to use one on the Dasher.

the orginal FRAM is rated to 200psi operating:

though... its a "Summit" knockoff... so who knows
