Fuel pump wont fit inside tank

[Fozz]

as u guys know my car is wak i got the south african te71. so today wen i tried to install a fuel pump the hole were u put the fuel pump in is way to small. is this just my car or do ke70/ae71 have the same problem? should i just buy another fuel tank? like adm sprinter and use a ae86 pump?

By the way the fuel pump im trying to fit is a camry fuel pump

any help is appreciated

cheers

just run a lift pump to a surge tank then a pressure/flow pump to the engine

Hey guys thanks for all ur replys

i just was think then that i could get the hole widend so it would fit. a fitter and turner just quoted me 20 bucks

so i thought maybe this is the cheap better way to do it

what do u's think?

thats what i did, take care of 2 probs in one, no more fuel surge, and no tryin to fit pumps in the tank

brings a new problem though, if you intend on doing any racing event's you will have to have it boxed off and vented to outside the car

thats not hard

Not trying to get into an argument just saying if I were to do it again i would run an intank surgetank set up, much better in my opinion

[Gunner]

yeh, but at extremes a decent seperate surgetank will work best, whether its in the tank or not. A baffled tank is not sealed and at hi gs u may still experience surge. in the end its what u wanna spend, and what u wanna see on ur car.

One solution I've used is to chop the fuel pump mounting "ring" out of the donor (Camry) tank and weld it in place on the TE71 tank. This has worked fine for me. If you aren't sure of the welds you can seal it with 2 part epoxy or 2pak paint.

Though be bloody careful cutting/welding fuel tanks. Make sure they are empty, rinsed and dry, then do it all a few times more just to be safe.
