OK! Posted this in toyota.trucks with no answer. Thought I'd ask here next! ZaXXoN
Hey! I'm going to replace an in tank pump with an in line pump and regulator. Do i have to remove the in tank pump and make a new fuel pickup? The pickup is an 86 22R-TE turbo 4x4. ZaXXoN
OK, I'll give it a shot.
Are you going to try sucking fuel through the fuel line with the in-line pump, attaching to the lines that are there? If you are, then you're going to be sucking fuel through a de-energized pump. I would think this would make your new pump work all the harder.
What I would do would be to remove tha actual pump itself, do an 'arterial transplant' by putting a piece of fuel line where the pump was, and use the original pickup. This should do the trick...
here's a thought.
If the original pump still works and you just want more flow, why not just run the second pump in-line. a efi pump will flow heaps without
40+psi head on it so it will be able to supply the second pump without a problem. Also then you could run a surge tank to get rid of any starvation problems.
Probably yes.
