fuel cell hookup

[clemson55]

Ok so I bought a nice 16 gal summit racing fuel cell with 2" sump to put in my cruiser and there arent any directions for installation. I dont really know to much other than I need a line to my fuel pump. So if somebody could help me out with some more info. Like whats the other outlet for on the bottom next to the one for bringing fuel to the fuel pump. And theres a smaller outlet on top is that a breather or what? Any help woudl be great. Thanks

You could tee both lower fitting to feed your fuel pump. then use the other upper fitting for fuel return on a fuel injection setup. This is what I plan to do and add remote pickups to the 2 lower fittings to have a pickup in each corner. See the thread in Hard Core for remote pickup ideas.

I'm just going for like the basic setup most similar to how it would have been with the regular tank.

The second bottom line is supposed to be used for the by-pass (fuel return). It's on the bottom so the returned fuel empties into liquid and not air to prevent aeration. If you are not using a return line plug the fitting. Top fitting is for venting.

What do you need a return for? Shouldnt all the fuel be used in combustion so there wouldnt be any returned?

I believe the return is off the pump. As far as I know there's always more fuel coming in then you can burn up.

Oh yeah, how much was that fuel cell and about how big is it? I'm thinking about putting one in my 40.

Summit racing has a lot of good choices. Mine is 16 gal and it was 115.00 cost 9.00 to ship which is pretty good I thought. Only took 3 days to get here.
