I am considering upgrading the fuel system on the Blue Flame. The car currently has a Walbro 255 fuel pump and stock fuel lines. After some consultation, the following components were suggested:
The fuel pump is a self priming external pump. The stock filter sock in the tank will be replaced by the pre-filter and -10 line to the pump. Both the feed line from the pump and the return line will be -8 fuel line. Adapters from Russel will hook the AN lines up to the stock fuel rails for now.
The pump needs to be powered via a 30A relay switched from the stock fuel pump wiring. The fuel pump wiring needs to be 14 gauge minimum (I will likely use 12 gauge).
This will support fuel requirements for future mods by swapping the fuel rails, injectors and fuel pressure regulator in the engine compartment when the time comes.
It sounds simple enough but after searching, it seems a level above what others have done on this platform. Opinions?
- Weldon A600-A Fuel Pump
- -10 pickup line
- 45 micron pre-filter
- -8 high pressure fuel line from pump
- 10 micron high pressure filter
- -8 return line back to the tank
