fuel cell installation help
« on: January 03, 2008, 01:38:55 AM »

Hello, I am a new guy that has been reading and learning a lot off of many of you from the two forums over the last couple months since I picked up my '97 es. I am planning on making it a fun fix up project. This car will never be on the "the road" again in its life.

Has anyone ever installed a fuel cell in the trunk of an avenger before? I am going to attempt it, but I have have never done so before and am looking for some advice. I have a 5 gallon summitracing fuel cell with a bladder and baffled for slosh and stuff.   My questions start there??  I understand I will need an external pump? Will this one work??---->
http://www.msdfuelinjection.com/efi_fuelpump.html   What is the stock fuel pressure for a 2.5/3.0??? I am guessing that the stock pressure regulator is on the pump(or in the tank at least) so I will need to purchase an aftermarket fp regulator as well to place after the external pump? Is it that simple? What am I missing? I am assuming there are just  send and return fuel lines I will have to deal with?? I am just doing this for safety/weight reduction, I won't be doing alot of major hp increasing so I won't need a special fuel system install.  Just something simple.

Thank you again for your help. It is all appreciated.

most use the walbro pump for an inline pump ... for an external fpr you can retrofit to a 95/96 fuel rails and fpr and add the return line

BadVenge, thank you very much for your quick reply. I will purchase the Walbro255lph external pump on your recommendation.  I like the idea of keeping the fpr inline after the pump in the trunk vs under the hood. I am going to firewall the trunk in. Is there a recommended aftermarket regulator that any users on here like(or maybe ones to stay away from). AEM? I am not worried "too much" about cost with any of this, versus dependability and ease of use.  Does 47-50psi sound about right??? Thanks again, the advice I have gotten out of this forum has been great.

You need to put the regulator after the fuel rail in-order for it to work.

Nothing on these cars for adjustable FPR's are bolt in.  Everything is custom.

thats suck-o!  I have alot to learn I guess. So even though the stock fpr is on the pump in the tank, any aftermarket has to go under the hood and after the fuel rail??? Maybe I will have to rethink this.

yes...the regulator on a return fuel system regulates everything before the regulator and not after the regulator.
