Spark in fuel tank possible? Fri, 22 July 2005 03:56 Go to previous message
I was thinking about an in tank fuel pump setup that people use when doing efi conversion. The question is, is it safe?

I know millions of modern car have this setup from the factory, but it just make me feel nervous at the thought having wires with electricity running through it hanging inside a tank full of petrol. I must admit that my knowledge of electricity is somewhat limited, is it possible to have a spark for whatever reason in a fuel tank and cause the whole setup to go KA-BOOM.

That is why I am considering the idea of external fuel pump instead, that way the only thing inside the tank is the fuel pickup with filter on the end. Also is the original steel fuel pipe ok to use in a sprinter 4age conversion.

Thanks
