In-Tank EFI Fuel pump options for stock tank.
Sending unit and fuel intake are co-located in the same opening in a stock ('81) F-Body fuel tanks.
Is there an in-tank fuel pump for EFI that has a provision for the fuel gauge sending unit? |

Part Number TM-201T fits 79-81 with Fuel Injection. It has a provision for EFI pump and their Fuel Sending unit, not the factory one. Factory type tanl but not sure if EFI Pump fits. http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...rod/prd283.htm Tom V.

I've looked for some stuff like that, but ended up going with an in-tank pump that will leave the stock sending unit in place. I suppose there are late model OEM combo pump/gauge sender units out there, but I don't have the time to see what fits my individual tank. The one I went with will fit my 67 FB tank, and will work with FiTech's PWM. It adjusts to tank depth, but will still require a stock gauge sender.
http://fitechefi.com/products/40015/ Not totally what you are looking for, but I am not seeing a drop in pump/sending unit. I, like you, would have loved to see a singular drop-in unit. Drop in universal pump/float combo for GM cars, adjustable for tank depth... I see a market opportunity.

Holley has a new product that is supposed to do just as you ask. I believe it is self-regulated, however, so you will not have a return line - that makes the install a bit simpler, but also makes it more susceptible to vapor lock.
Personally, I feel the TanksInc system that Tom mentions is the best current option.

Tanks INC has an EFI retrofit pump , but it has no sending unit. The FiTech unit has a built in regulator, so the FiTech EFI's internal regulator is removed. Not sure if that can be done on the Sniper. I looked at the new Tanks..and they do have the advantage of better baffling...but I was hoping to retain my stock tank. So, you must have had to cut a new hole in the stock tank for the pump, right? If so, how did that go? Last edited by wh33lman; 03-05-2018 at 12:08 PM. |

I see their module does have the gas tank gage sender as part of the assy.

spectra also makes an intank pump/sender module that installs in the stock opening. they also make a complete tank/pump assembly with a baffled tank for a very good price.
http://www.spectrapremium.com/produc...ssemblies.html the holley unit is the same type of pump/sender in one module that installs in the stock opening, it comes with their hydro-mat product. the holley is a non-return internal bypass design & they claim it helps prevent or eliminates vapor lock. aeromotive also offers a drop in pump unit but requires cutting the tank & retaining the stock sender, they offer standard return systems & a non return internal bypass also. |

I made my own with a Walbro pump. Pump with sending unit all together that fits thru stock hole into stock tank. No internal baffles in the tank so have to keep it above 1/2 for spirited driving. Thinking of adding a Holley fuel mat to it like the Holley referenced above.

I would prefer 340lph for my setup, and do not mind drilling new hole in tank...but would prefer to not have an internal requlator.

aeromotive offers the bigger 340lph pump & the normal full return system is standard & uses a external regulator. they offer an internal bypass one for dead head carb setups but you still need an external regulator to dial down to what your carbs needs.

In-Tank EFI Fuel pump options for stock tank.
I have a brand new tank with the Aeromotive pump already installed. Have an ad in the classifieds. Send me a pm if you are interested.

I was leaning towards the Tanks Inc. intank pump with the attached baffle. Seems there's a lot of concern about fuel starvation when using an unbaffled tank. Their PA6 pump (Walbro) fits the bill.
However, fixing my stuck choke on the Q-jet, just unleashed enough power to immediately upset my tranny. So the EFI is on hold. |
