I am putting fuel injection on my friends 85 toyota pu (it was carburated). Quite a job, i got everything changed over. Wondering what to do about the electric fuel pump. Was thinking of mounting aftermarket one on frame rail and can i use the factory fuel lines with doubling up the hose clamps? Could use some suggestions.
 
Thanks, but alittle more work than i want to do. This is a stock 4x4 truck and rarely sees off road and is a everyday driver.Trying to decide if i can just put an in line pump on or will i have to get a fuel tank and lines from junk yard for efi truck
 
i did not read chop shops link!

i did the same with my 84 4runner, but i wanted to keep everything as stock as possible so i spent 2 years searching for a gas tank, in these parts the junk yards punch holes in them, they claim it is an EPA reg.

no big deal i just bought a parts truck and used the gas tank out of it.

i had to buy a new holder from Toyota for the fuel pump and lines, the holder and lines looked brand new inside the tank, but on top the tank well the lines were trashed!

i think it was $70 from the local dealer, and it was wrong, but i made it work, if i was on here when i did this i would have ordered it from C-Dan!
 
I'd stick w/ a factory tank/pump. That's what I did when I did the conversion on my '86 truck. The donor was a 4Runner and the only thing I had to do was extend the filler hose 'cuz it's slightly different. Place an ad here on Mud and hopefully you'll find one.:)

I dont think you understood. I wasnt implying you go get a keg and start welding.

I was referring to the INLINE pump that I used with HOSE CLAMPS like you asked about in the first post.

This is what pretty much what you wanted.

Mine is on the framerail with clamps. Airtex E2000.

It was $100 at shucks or autozone. It is a stock replacement pump for over 100 ford/merc/linc models of vehicles that have a frame mounted inline pump and in stock at most parts stores. It is also the correct psi and volume to properly run a 22re.

And if it ever goes bad I have a warranty and it takes about 10 minutes to change as opposed to dropping the tank.

How long has it lasted? Mine was 26 months. 2 months out of warranty. Its a similar part but mine was Carter.
It put out 77psi. Too much for that motor. So I put a regulator on it dumbed it down to 43psi.

Are you 100% what you have is the correct psi out of the box?
 
To the OP you should use barbed fittings and fuel injection specific hose clamps. And make sure to add hose clamps to all your return hoses.

I don't know what is compatible in your truck. But in mine, its a 1980, I swapped in a 92 2wd short bed std cab efi tank. And added the steel hose. Its worth the work. Messing with adding a fuel pump sucks. IMO

What kind of regulator? Stock toy efi regulator is already on the engine.

Of course I use the toyota regulator. The toyota regulator is art of the efi system. Every efi system NEEDS a regulator and return to work properly.

I had read that the carter pump was the best but both my parts guys said they had allot of returns on new carter stuff and they werent the same quality they used to be.
 
IMO, you should lay in new fuel lines while you're swapping in the pump - start over from scratch, and not worry about whatever junk has built up, or whatever's flaking off 25 year old fuel lines.

If I were installing an electric on my truck (which I may in the future) I would rig up the fuel lines to run 2-3 fuel filters parallel - gas quality is getting worse here in the Golden State, and I'm averaging a filter every three months.
