Alright guys, I'm in a dilemma. I can't figure out what would be the best setup to do my fuel cell. I bought a Fathouse Fab fuel cell off a member while I was deployed. I liked it because I could retain the factory fuel hangar and still keep the factory fill tube, so no need to open the trunk! Since I bought it, I've changed my mind and want to do an external fuel pump. This is a drag car, so I don't mind the noise. I'm just not sure how to plumb everything together, seeing how there are a bunch of variables in sizes. This is what I'm working with:


BR 2.0LR
BR Stage 3 Head
STM FF PTE 6466
Skunk2 Ported IM
AEM Fuel Rail
FIC 2150CC (-8 Inlet, -6 Return)
Fathouse Fab Fuel Cell (-12 Feed, -8 Return)
Aeromotive Pro-Series Fuel Pump (-12 Inlet, -12 Oulet)


The return part I understand. I can just change that and make it all a -8 return. The problem I run into is I can only find in-line fuel filters in -10. So should I go -12 from fuel cell to pump, then use a reducer and go -10 from pump-filter-rail? Also, what size micron filters are used for E85? I apologize for all the noob questions. It's just fuel cell systems are new to me.

 

-12 is a little over kill. You can run -10 from the tank to the pump and rail with a -8 return.

Im running -6 feed and return. I may step up to -8 feed if needed. Im running e85 as well. Im using a 100 micron filter. If you run a finer filter, you create a large restriction and your pump is working pretty hard.

 

I have no choice but to run a -12 from the tank because that's how it comes from Fathouse.

 

If they are custom making them, request a -10 or you can get a reducer fitting that connects directly to the tank for -10.

 

Use some reducers to get to the size you need, I had to do that to reduce -8AN lines to 3/8" barbs to connect to the factory hardlines on my cell setup . -8AN is all you would need on your setup and plenty of in-line filters are available from Summit, Jegs, or eBay.
