Fuel system build

these clamps i think he was referring to...

i forgot what size they are. They came with the regulated return system when i installed it nearly 7 years ago.

why not just run an ADII and be done with it

Because all of the failures I keep hearing about. Want to do it once, and do it right, and not have to worry about it all the time

i have put on 10+ and never had a problem.

i went through 3 fuelabs before i got a good one.

Well then possibly an AD II direct to the heads with a rr setup. But I like the sounds of the A1000 setup more

What lift pump were you using?

A lot of people have been having issues lately with the AD2's.

Thats why I'd rather do the AD and the A1000 or fuel lab pump. Hear of less issues and seems like a better setup

I'm still a fan of Fass fuel

i had no lift pump,
sump>filter>fuelab>filter>RR

pump only saw failure once it hit water, (rain, car wash etc.)

talked to fuelab multiple times, assured me it was fine as a stand alone pump (needed no supply pump as long it wasnt doing a heavy pull) as well as ensured me that the pump was 100% waterproof.

i was told to use dialectical grease on the electronics to keep out water.

How did that setup work once you got your pump issues figured out?

Fittings on the heads are 12mm x 1.5 o-ring and usually go to-6 AN for the fuel line.

Garrett

probably getting paid at work to post this from my bionic

setup worked great, a member on here now has the new pump. they always stood behind the pump, and warrantied no questions asked.

held full pressure with 205/100s

Cool. I might end up going that route. not sure if it really makes sense to spend an extra 600+ on an AD or FASS just to feed the real pump...

Yeah not necessary if you size the suction side properly.

smokinstroker · Oct 30, 2012

-10 an fittings and hose will be your friend here

be careful if you are not using a pusher(feed) pump to your hp pump. some claim that to be the failure with many of these pumps not living long.
