So I have a TBI350 and want to run a fuel cell. My sending unit / pump is in the tank, what would i need to do to convert. I'm lost. I tried googling it but still nothing..
Thank you.

Im thinking you could get the same kinda set-up to drop in the fuel cell or get a sending unit that works with the cell and mount a pump (close to the fuel cell) thats good enough to supply the correct amount of fuel to the motor.
my buddy runs 2 pumps(from a stock tank) 1 low pressure close to the tank and the 2nd is on the firewall and its a high pressure to feed the 5.0 in his vintage bronco

Aftermarket pump and regulator that mounts on frame rail, most fuel cells have some kind of fuel guage kit to work with a aftermarket fuel guage or stock Gage. Its what I've used in my hot rods over the years.

I use an aftermarket pump attached to the frame rail. Just make sure you get one that will supply enough pressure. Mine is supplying a TBI 350 also. Where are you going to mount your fuel cell? Mine is above the frame rails, so I don't need a feed pump. I think this is the one I run, not 100% sure, but it makes the flow & pressure needed. www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-p4601hp/overview/ |

I'm using a 22gal fuel cell and aftermarket pump to feed my TBI318. All you need is to figure out what pressure your factory TBI runs at, mine is between 13.5-14.5. I'm using a Holley Blue pump that max pressure is 14psi. Tank is sitting above the frame and the pump is mounted inside the frame rail. With this set up I don't have a intank pump. I also installed a fuel level sending unit that works with the factory gauge so I know how much fuel is in the tank without having to look inside it. Another nice thing to get is the Walbroro fuel pickups installed into each corner of the tank. I have then in mine and should help even with the tank almost empty should not starve the pump. After reading on Pirate, I would recommend not getting one with the foam inside it, read too many threads about the foam breaking down in less then a year. I just ordered these on Tuesday and should be here tomorrow. link |
