Aeromotive in tank pump system

[A70Runner]

Is anyone running this setup? My only concern is it only has -6 an fittings. Going into a 70 RR with a 496 dynod at 650+. Street strip car. Thanks!

Is their setup available with -8 or better yet -10?

This is all it says on the website. I tried emailing their tech support a few months ago but never heard back. (Strike One).

No experience with it yet but I have this tank with the 340 lph pump ready to go into my 69 super bee with a 600hp 505. Planning to do a mix of -8an and 1/2" hardline for feed/return and I got the Aeromotive dual fuel pressure regulator (13220). They rate the setup for 750hp for NA carb engines.

-6 is basically 3/8". I'm running that setup with the 340lph for my 440. Do you know what size injectors they ran and pressure when they dyno'd the engine. Or what the gph and jets were if it was carb'd?

1/2 a pound of fuel per hour per horsepower. Basically fuel weighs 6 lbs per gallon. 650 HP would be 325 pounds of fuel per hour or 54 US gallons / hour. 215 litres per hour that will go happily through a 3/8 line. That and how long are you ever going to have that 650HP kicked in for...

Don't forget that every fitting you have from front to back is a restrictor. Look at the id of the fittings.

When the pump is in the tank, that becomes a pressure line instead of a supply line. When the fuel is already under pressure, a larger line isn't needed.

Keep in mind also at full power and say accelerating at 1g with 650hp, that is the equivalent of 14'? of head the pump is dealing with, besides whatever filter, fittings and line restrictions are also at play.

At 6 lb / gallon it would only be around 10'.
Kinda inconsequential really I think keeping the pump covered would be way more important.

117"? wheelbase, tank is behind rear axle, terminates in front of front axle, in addition to any elevation change, seems to me to be equally "consequential" as all the other concerns mentioned at play others have mentioned that all have a cumulative effect on this issue that a #6 line would present.

Holley makes a tank with up to a 525lph pump in it. I used one if their pumps in my tank when I did the efi in my coronet.

The info you supplied was for a 200 lph pump. They have bigger pumps listed, which would likely have bigger fittings.

On their Website, go to the bottom of the page and all the way to the right under Resources and go to Installation Instructions for the tank you are looking for. It will tell you the lines and fitting you need for the size pump that’s in the tank.
I’m using their Stealth II tank for 64-65 applications with a 383.

-6 just seams small.

Per their website the 200lph pump is too
Small for you application. The 340lph seems more right-sized based on your 650+ hp. But the recommended line size is also -6. When you go to the 525lph pump, they recommend -8 lines.
Call them and talk to them - see what they say. When I was choosing my tank, I did not have much trouble reaching them by phone

You can never have "too big" a fuel system!
