Fuel Pump + Pipes for 500bhp Esc Cos??

[Mike Rainbird]

I hope you're sitting down, as I have priced this up to do in Aeroquippe and including the T-piece for the twin pump arrangement, you're looking at £400 .

This is for the hose from the in-tank pump to the filter, the hose from the filter to the swirl pot, the twin hose to single hose converter from the two fuel pumps, the hose from this to the FPR and then the return to the swirl pot and the swirl pot to the fuel tank return.

Obviously if it was a single pump set up, this would reduce significantly (£60), as then you wouldn't need the 2 into 1 adapter, which is required with the two pump set up.

The swirl pot is £200 for twin pumps and £190 for single.

Martin used 10 metres of hose on my twin pump set up

Do you have to use braided lines or is there a cheaper high pressure pipe available? Im not a fan of braiding tbh and neither is my bank balance

Mike, are you building a complete kit to sell inc everything needed?

Yes, see price above . If you don't want in aeroquippe, I could do just the tanks no probs .

Is that £400 just for pipe and fittings? Then £200 for the tank?

What fittings could i use other than aeroquip?

Yep, 'Quip is not cheap unfortunately.

so mike is this the price you want for the piping setup?

so am i right in thinking i could pay £400+£200 then i would just need to get the fuel pumps? and its done?

how much without the pipe from the tank to the filter as i have this already...

does this system need one way valves on the pumps?

cheers

Mike - would a 2 pump swirl pot cause issued if used with only 1 pump? (Ie - just get a blank on the other outlet?)

[F12NCO]

i was going to do that at one stage rich. So cant see it being a problem!

[Rolls]

yeah - no point in doing a single if a few years down the line it would have to get changed...

wouldnt matter at all, as for the prices the fuel system complete does cost a lot off dosh and by the time you have it all it will be about £1k but that is for 2 pumps, fuel pot, ect as just the fuel line (-6 speedflex carbon) retails at £22 a meter and you will need 12 meters and the 90 degree swivel bends retail at £38 each just a good job i get good discount as it soon mounts up

i saved a bit of dough having silver fittings instead of the fancy shit rich, way i saw it was she's gonna be used and abused.

i got all this fitted to my car then crashed it the day after i brought it home.

was pretty expensive for suppy and fit aswell as having water injection fitted too.

keeping the parts though.

You can normally save a shit load of money buying the proper quip stuff from the likes of Summit racing to be honest mate anyhow - its what I did on the old car!
All in time though - got other prioities at the moment!
