moodoo Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Folks, Am wondering if its possible/practical to modify a 'carb' fuel sender (8mm outlet), to an 'injection' type, with a 12mm outlet (obviously once its removed from the tank!!). Could the smaller pickup pipe be cut off, the hole bored out, and a larger one welded in its place? Has the sender unit got some special anti-corrosion coating on it or anything? Anyone done this....or is everyone laughing at my daft idea..?! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I know James (stradacab) modified an 1800 sender unit for use with injection, he's the man to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You're talking hatch right? You might want to keep the original exit as return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moodoo Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks Spiney, I will try to contact Stradacab and ask him Mantadoc- am actually talking A-series...its been converted to injection by the previous owner, but they haven't increased the outlet pipe size on the sender. I figured since the pump inlet was 12mm, then the tank outlet should be the same, but I've been told since of big power V8 A-sereis mantas still using the original small outlet, so maybe its not such a big deal.

opel2000 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Often wondered why the outlet from the injection tanks was so large, basically you should get enough flow through 8mm bore pipe to fuel 300bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
