Having second thoughts about using a rubber feed line submersed in Gasoline in the tank.......Does anyone know what type of material the Soda straw tubes and GM pump bodies are made from and what type of adhesive/sealant is used by GM in the assembly process ????????

Thanks

Ken

Very nice build.

I wouldn't do rubber either, maybe a TFE hose?

Sorry, I don't know what they're made of. Perhaps call Hector at Rick's Tanks?

He helped me out with a bunch of tanks for odd ball vehicles.

Been busy at the shop so not a lot of time for Car parts......I finally got the fuel pump situation put to bed........I ordered a set-up from Ricks that has a dual filtered in tank pick ups for supplying the fuel pump......there are a couple of brackets that the pick-ups snap into that needed to be tack welded in the Tank to hold them in position......Got that finished today........Now I can finish welding the Pump plate into the tank.........Getting real close !!!!!!!

Look what is finally finished..........I'll get it installed........finish up the fuel line.......install the Vaporworx fuel pressure control system........then off to the Exhaust shop........

Got everything finished except for the Exhaust system........all the wiring is completed......the last wires were for the Vaporworx fuel pressure controller......got it buttoned up and turned the key on......The pump ran for a couple seconds and shut off......with out starting that's exactly what it's supposed to do..........Now I have to put some gas in the tank to start it up......then get it to the exhaust shop...........Next project coming up shortly is to take the 454 out of Gary's 65 Biscayne and swap in a LS3.........Stay Tuned........
