1G FPR to Tank Kits

[boostngsx]

I am in need of a kit or maybe I have to put one together myself. I need to go from the FPR to the tank. I have searched and looked around but the only thing I can find is kits that go from rail to FPR to stock return line. Anyone know of a place to buy a kit to go from the rail to the tank??? I spoke with STM and they said they are making one but I need one ASAP.

Slowboy racing carries a kit. Stainless braided lines with -6an fittings

Are you sure. I looked and all I could find was kits that went from rail to fpr to stock return line. I am looking to replace the return line with -6 AN SS line from the FPR to the tank.

Dude just make one. It will be two fittings, some hose, and something to hold it to the undercarriage. Not a big deal.

TryAN PLUMBING.COM Earls performance products Hose ends Hose,Adapter fittings. I ordered all the parts i needed from them for my fuel pump to fuel rail setup.

Yes but I don't know what fittings I need. I could measure out the length and just order a little extra to be on the safe side. What should I use to hold onto the undercarriage?

Use these to hold the line to your undercarraige

Don't get SBR's. Plenty of reasons. They take forever. They charge you to put the fittings on. They send you 5 extra feet so you have to cut it yourself anyhow. Just do it yourself. Save yourself some money and time

Yea... Those. I just didn't know what to call them at the time.

 

[boostngsx]

Well I think I am going to wait one more week to see if STM puts their kit up for sale. If not then Im gonna end up putting my own together.

I'll assume your FPR has the -6an return outlet. You'll need

I have never upgraded the return line on a 1g but I believe you can just clamp the SS hose to the return line nipple at the tank if not you need a fitting there.

 

[Detective Coating]

Don't clamp it. It will leak, I know from first hand experience. Cut the stock line, drill through your sending unit and get a fitting that will go through your whole from summit and JB weld it to the sending unit and then connect it to the SS line via -6AN fittings from your line to the fitting off your sending unit.

I've asked MANY vendors to make this and they don't want to mess with it. The stock return has been on many high horsepower DSM's so they feel they don't need to make one. Yea it's easy but I don't want to deal with it either, I'd rather pay to have it put together from people who do this everyday.

What type of fitting would be needed for the tank? A bulkhead? Anyone know the fitting that would be needed for an Aeromotive SX FPR?

 

[boostngsx]

I am not doing because of high HP. I am doing it because my stock one is all rusted and ready to fall apart. I am replacing the entire fuel system except for the rail and the injectors. Everything is going to be -6 AN. I have an Aeromotive FPR and will be getting the fuel lab fuel filter with STM's tank to rail kit. I am getting a gas tank that is in better shape, going to clean it, scrape it, and paint it. No more rusty stock fuel lines. Everything brand new.

 

[Byrd]

I got the FFWD High-Flow kit found: Here. Darren comes off as an asshole and there are much cheaper kits out now that I would go with.

When it comes to the gas tank, I would sand blast it. Get the $14 sandblasting adapter at home depot which lets you use a standard air compressor. Then some sand and you're all set. Doing it this way saves time over standard sanding, cleaner finish and it's cheaper. Hope this helps.

Summit Racing Part # AER-FBM1532

Your best bet is this:

Buy 2 of the above
Buy 4 -6AN fittings
Buy 25 feet of SS line
That is all you need

If you want to run stainless from your filter, I recommend to upgrade the filter to one with -6AN fittings:
Buy one -6AN female from top of filter
Buy one -6AN off line to rail
Buy a -6AN to -8AN male to male.
Drill and tap your rail for a -8AN (I believe you need a 11/16" drill and a 3/4-16 tap)

Make sure to use teflon tape on every fitting and tighten the hell out of them! Do it once, do it right.

Whats the best way to clean the inside of the gas tank out?

 

[Detective Coating]

Does yours have the drain plug? I know my 91 awd did but I'm not sure if all do because I know it is rare for any car to have but I sure loved it so I didn't have to syphon the gas.

 

[boostngsx]

I am not sure. I just bought a 1G without a title as a parts car and it not at my house yet. So I haven't gotten started on all of this yet. I cant wait to get this all done. My DSM has been running with only 25 PSI of fuel pressure since I bought it. I just want to be able to drive it finally.

 

[Detective Coating]

I honestly don't know of a good thing to clean the inside out with but I know if you do have the drain plug it would be 100 time easier. I just don't know what chemicals you don't want to mix in there.

Actually, you don't want to use any teflon tape when using AN fittings.

I'd also check out this thread for some pictures of a nice fuel system. It'll show you how they did the feed and return lines at the pump, as well as an under car shot of the lines (it's on a 2g, but the concept is the same):

Nothing yet. We are very busy and have not had much time to make anything new.

sorry

Just do it yourself as I have stated above. I noticed that I did have a small leak at my filter from using the teflon tape today so I took it all off. Thanks for the heads up on that as I was not aware you shouldn't use it with AN fitting. Honestly its not as hard as you think and you will save yourself a ton of money.

 

[boostngsx]

Should I still get the tank to rail kit from stm and just get the parts for the return myself, or should I just make the whole thing myself?

 

[snowborder714]

Do it all yourself

It'll most likely be cheaper and you get the satisfaction that you did it all yourself.
