Re: Fuel tanks

[ryanmel]

dunno, must be standard. what is the difference between old carby cars and efi cars that doesn't allow "surge" then? is it the in tank fuel pump, or the fact the pump is normally surrounded in a cylinder with slots in the side to allow it to fill up but not drain out past a certain point? i wanted an in tank fuel pump anyway, i may be able to modify a 1600 fuel tank and replace the original sender with an in-tank fuel pump ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 10:33 AM Subject: Re: Fuel tanks just on this, I pulled my tank out the other day to clean and paint it etc and had a look inside. There are divisions inside which look like baffles to me. IE steelish plates spaced along the inside with circular holes cut in them. It is not home made or anything, it looks factory??   Is this standard or what??? ryanmel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm looking at retro fitting a fuel tank to a 1600   I was thinking a late model fuel tank (with baffles and in tank fuel pump) out of anything, nissan, otherwise, probably nissan, due to familiarity with performance pumps etc.  Anyone know some wreckers of otherwise with 200sx, or 180sx, or any 1990->on cars that they can measure up external dimensions and mounting points of their respective fuel tanks?   I am considering cutting out the spare tire well if necessary to fit (e.g.)  a 180sx fuel tank which sits under the boot and moving the spare inside the boot behind the seat.    I'm not sure how much of an effect it would have on weight distribution moving the tank further back, any comments?   This removes the need for a surge tank and external fuel pumps in my opinion.   help? anyone? get out your measuring tapes.......   ryan --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
