Facts About Installing EFI On Your Classic Ride

The last sentence in this article is very close to my heart....
"Weak connections and bad grounds are by far the most common cause of issues in aftermarket EFI systems." You guys know how I'm constantly harping about bad grounds.

I did not know that there were engine bay mounted sumps available today. This takes all the grief out of installing a new tank and running new plumbing. Reminds me of the 1-gallon Jaz tanks that fellows mount in the engine bay to supply high-octane fuel or water/alcohol for N2O and blower systems....

I've been studying EFI fuel systems since I will soon be building one for the sports car project I'm working on. It seems that a lot of the folks that are running serious corner carvers and EFI are running a separate small surge tank. These have the EFI pump and plumbing. The surge tank is fed from the main tank by a low pressure feed pump in a constant return situation. The surge tank is always full so the EFI pump never loses suction in a corner. Sounds like a pretty good solution to fuel starvation, but a little complicated with 2 pumps and more plumbing.
