Re: Pre pump for surge tank choice?

your fuel setup sounds just like mine. i have a VL EFI pump and a 1 litre surge tank. for my lift pump i was using a 5psi carby pump which i paid $30 trade, they retail for about $50. this was fine supporting 200KW. however as i had the fuel from the return line runing back to the surge tank, i had fuel heating issues on hot days. the fuel would get hot causing the VL pump to die. so i got a bigger lift pump which could flow more than the VL pump and had the return line from the engine go to the tank instead. the lift pump was a high flow carter gold (cant remember specs) its way overkill and cost about $115. so now there is always cool petrol getting to the VL pump.
so i reccomend the carter gold, fairly cheap and flows shit loads.
