fuel pick-up problems . . .
firstly, thanks for looking! secondly, i've upgraded/repaired my fuel system which includes a bigger than standard k-jet fuel pump (from a bigger audi i think), full braided lines with speedflow fittings, and a high flow fuel filter.
So heres the problem, the inlet to the fuel pump is quiet a bit bigger than the outlet of the fuel tank; To rectify this, i used multipul fittings to upsize the tank pipe so that i can connect the it to the fuel pump. although now i feel like the pump isn't getting enough juice cuz it makes inconsistant noises and its possibly due to the pipe going from small and poxy to a large one; if you can imagine trying to drink a soda with a straw that starts small and gets bigger at the end . . . .
can i modify the fuel tank in some way? and also while im here, do we need that accumulator?
This outlet needs to be bigger . . .
and heres a dodgey pic of the fittings (cars to low and couldnt b arsed jacking it up)
Sorry its long and winded . . . . . . THNKS!!! . . . Alex
