[SPAM] RE: On the subject of tanks...

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

As far as volume, the original should be plenty.  The G60 guys will use an
early single A1 fuel pump to bump-up their delivery if they are running more
boost.  Granted they running a different FI system that does not need the
higher pressure unless they are increasing the boost...  BUT...  I would
stick with that pump, unless it is beginning to fail.  It should supply all
that you need.  And if it does not, I would test it at higher RPMs and
confirm that it is falling short (by way of a wideband, or perhaps by other
means mentioned here on the list)...

Hope that helps,
  David

What I was wondering is if I cut the top off a MKII tank for the adapter
plate where the transfer pump goes, then weld it into an earlier tank. Would
it help at all?
