Cams AE85 build from NZ

As the car was oginally carburettored the fuel tank needed to be modified to accept an EFI fuel pump. My car will have an in tank fuel pump that will act as a lift pump to a surge tank. I already have a Bosch 910 external pump for the main pump and a Sard fuel pressure regulator. It just so happened that while I was doing this part of the project that my Dads Jeep Cherokee developed a problem where it would run fine when cold but would die after 20 mins of running. It turned out to be the crank angle sensor but we mistakenly diagnosed it as a faulty fuel pump. The upside of this is I now had a perfectly good in-tank pump looking for a home.

I took the standard AE85 fuel tank pickup and bent the pipe to work with the Jeep pump. I'm still not totally happy with how this works as I am dealing with two different pipe sizes and it just doesn't fit quite right.

To get the wires into the tank I used an awesome fitting from a VN Holden Commodore fuel tank. It is a plastic fitting that has two wires passing through it and is o-ring sealed. If you ever need to get wires into a fuel tank I highly reccomend these fittings.
