Det_Riot Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Let's talk aftermarket fuel systems here. With the new rails I need to put together a new set-up with a remote AFPR. I've conceptualized the set up and I think this all makes sense but want to run a sanity check before I order a bunch of lines and fittings.Does this make sense? I also need recommendations on a fuel pressure regulator. I know a handful of guys have redone their fuel systems so I'm looking for any and all advice!

Tabres Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Attachment isn't working for me. This is the regulator I'm using. I've got about 5k miles on it and it's worked great so far. Not a single complaint. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aei-13109/overview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 That'll work. That's how mine is routed. Mine does have a -10an main feed that splits to two -8an at the y-block to the rails, that's the only difference. Just put a good set of filters around your pump(s) and you'll be all set.

These are going to be connecting back to the stock hardlines for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have a nice accufab AFPR that is new and unfortunately will not work in the stock rail I have and can sell. I think It goes for 140 new, $80 and I will get it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with stock hardlines? I'm concerned about losing too much velocity going from a 5/16" hard line into a -10 which is essentially double the ID. Does that matter or does the AFPR regulate this enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are running the stock hardlines up to the engine bay? Why not fully engineer the fuel system while the car is down. Does not take much to run line from the tank and from what I understand of your build, you will need it eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because at this point, the stock lines will more than support the power I'll be putting down N/A, and I don't really have interest to drop another $1500-$2k into a fuel system this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Don't buy a kit. You can piece a fuel system together way cheaper on your own. My entire fuel system was roughly $1,000, and almost $400 of that was on the fuel pumps alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 There wasn't any real trick to it, honestly. A decent part of how I was able to do it was timing. I bought from site vendors that offered coupon codes and I bought a lot of my components around the holidays when companies were running site-wide sales. Also, all of my system is built out of pushlock hose. You will save a lot there versus going to a braided hose. I use a Fragola hose that is nylon braided (I think they call it their Series 8000). It looks nice and is a lot easier to assemble. Some people will tell you a pushlock hose can swell - I run 50psi base pressure and I've never had it happen. I also chose not to spend the money on the more expensive brands of fittings and y-blocks. Virtually every fitting on my car is made by Fragola or is Summit Racing brand. I know there was some contention over the Summit Racing fittings several years ago, mostly their braided hose style fittings. All I can say is that I've never had a problem with any of my fittings from them, and I've had them all off and on several times. I do have some Earls and Russel brand fittings on my oil lines and honestly I don't find them to be any different really from the Fragola or Summit stuff.

Then its a matter of fittings and lines. This way you can plumb it the way you like and not be dictated by what the kit supplies you with. Im probably right at a grand if not under for my fuel system. If your dead set on waiting till down the road for a complete system then just use the Aeromotive hardline adapters and run an 8an feed and 6an return.

64bit_Tuning Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Im going to throw a wrench in the works here. Your diagram is very similar to how my system is run. But you dont need anywhere near that much line, or that many fittings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01yellercobra Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I ran Fragola stuff in my 01. From the tank to the rails. I didn't have an issue with it. I still have more nylon braided line in the garage for when I get stupid with my 04. Speaking of the 04, the rails are just as small as what came on my 01.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted May 26, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm assuming that you have no automotive technical knowledge since you posted a bunch of nonsense rather than contribute some tech to this thread. In regards to aftermarket fuel system parts, it would be nice to have a larger than stock fuel tank as a 15 gallon tank combined with a mustang's high fuel consumption makes for frequent stops at the gas station. Fuel safe does have 20 and 22 gallon SN95 fuel tanks for around $3500 that require bladder replacements every couple of years. Dafuq does fuel tank size have to do with keeping the motor supplied with the appropriate volume of fuel other than the length of time that the appropriate volume can be supplied?

Det_Riot Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Gah. End thread. Bought @rolocuts fuel system out the red car. His legacy will live on in the whale cannonAnd for the record, a $3500 tank plus a replacement bladder at ~1000 every few years is asinine for a street car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
