Fuel cell and fuel system setup - Click HERE for Original Thread

Hey everyone just trying to gather some info on how you think I should setup my fuel system. I have the fuel cell mounting all figured out but I'm not positive how I will finish the rest of the system. Mainly the pluming. I have this fuel cell pictured below and the drop tank I built that it will sit in. I think I will mount it so the sump on the cell will face the back of the car and I will place the fuel pump and filter in the sump of the drop tank at the front. Now what do you think I should do for all the fuel line because I have none of the stock ones? I have a Walbro 255 meant for in tank use, do you think for now I can use it externally because it will not have to support major power for now. I am also on a budget so full SS lines and AN fittings are not a possibility for now.
Heres the Fuel Cell

And the "drop tank" Dont worry its welded that white stuff is just seam sealer

And here is the trunk where the tank will go.

Thanx.

Holset Hatch

get yourself a tube bender and some lengths of hard fuel line and go at it. its cheaper than ss line/an fittings, just tougher to work with.

not sure how you will use a intank walbro as a external pump, just get a inline walbro.

here's a link i googled.

what is this going into ?

GTR.

Personally I think the fuel cell is a waste, and you should run a surge tank setup, but that's just me.

I don't know what the hell that "drop tank" is but you should run the cell pretty well as high up in the trunk as possible, and mount the pump(s) below the bottom of the sump so they are gravity fed. Use some pushlok lines because hardlines out of a sump look like crap, and go to it.

If you can't afford braided stainless or pushlok, you can't afford a nice GTR build.

Holset Hatch, thanks for the info. I think I am going to get a new pump and run AN fittings and SS lines to the pump filter and fuel rail and then I will use hard line to run across the frame. Tokes, this is an S13 not a GTR. I agree with you on the fuel cell but i did not really have a choice as I kinda took this project over from my brother and he had already taken out the existing fuel system and cut out the trunk floor.

Is the cell a foam core ?

My bad, I thought you were the guy with the BeeR R324 GTR.
