Surge Tank Setup using PTFE Teflon Braided Hose

[nismovzr2003]

Hey guys,

Just a quick query,

How and what are people doing to attach teflon braided hose to the hard lines coming out of the top of the main fuel tank ( the fuel pump assemble top sealing plate)?

Cheers

If there is enough room (there should be?) you could use Speedflow tube adapters that will adapt 5/16 tube to -6AN male (part #618-06-05) and then use the Teflon AN fittings from there. Or remove the hatch and get some -6AN male fittings brazed on to the inlet and outlet pipes.

Not a bad idea Tony!

When people install surge tanks is it wise to remove the internal pump an change to a proper lift pump? I'm running a DW300 intank pump and wondering if this would run to hot as there's no resistance against the flow to the surge tank and could possibly **** itself at some stage.

Any advise or thoughts appreciated.

If you're worried about it just put an orifice restrictor on it somewhere. That will get the pressure up a bit.

I have run a standard internal pump as a lift pump for years without problems. I think they are most happy running with reduced load.
