| Post subject: | Carb'd R1 fuel pump mounting |
Just curious if someone has a different idea here. I'm using the fuel pump from the bike to keep things simple. I'm planning on placing the pump at one of two locations. I'm building a traditional car with front engine and rear mount tank. I can put the pump by the engine above or below tank level. My other option is below tank level at the rear right near the tank. I'm *guessing* this pump is better at pushing than pulling and that the rear location would probably work best. Any thoughts? Thanks, Danny |

Sounds like you are not using the R1 fuel tank. Definitely put the pump as close as possible to the tank. If you decide to pull fuel via a tube inserted from the top of the tank instead of gravity feed with a low outlet like the R1 tank, you might as well put the pump on top too for a shorter distance for the pump to prime. Use a good quality prefilter to protect the pump. I’d use 5/16 or 3/8 steel or nylon line and add another, typical carb filter between the carbs and the hard line as a “last chance” screen to help prevent carb problems. |
