Just make sure you can get NPT brass tee's.

I think it was Pile that said they were available at the local "FLAPS".andy198712 wrote:Clonebug wrote:That would be too easy ....if you could find one.

You could try there too.

I don't know if these are any good (quality), but the price seems right:

Re: Common car fuel pumps?
I think I mentioned at some point using the plastic sump recirc tank off later Golfs/cabbies/Fox etc.
I think the nomenclature was "filter" or something equally idiotic for a ~transparent hollow plastic enclosure with a bunch of tubes sticking out..

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Re: Common car fuel pumps?
They turned out to be pretty pricey here in the UK new, around £80 which is about $150??
What about that vent in the corner of the tank, as you look in under the bonet from the front of the car its bottom right, couldn't i just put my return into that??

Re: Common car fuel pumps?
I use a Bosch pump off a mid-70s VW bus and the fuel filter. The inlet side of the filter is 6mm I think? and 8mm outlet?? It's smaller on the inlet side than the outlet though.
