Re: EFI with factory Fuel Tank??

When I first put the TPI in, I ran the stock tank. I just didn't care for the smell of gas. My pump is loud on initial prime too, but after that I never heard it. The fuel sending unit with the returns on it are the same after 71. I just used the same 5/16th line to dump back into the tank. Never had a problem other than the smell. One note though, you need your pump to be no further than 4 feet from the tank. Otherwise it has a tough time getting suction, like you said, they push better than pull. I'm using the same $100 dollar frame mounted pump from Autozone or where ever. After figuring out the 4 foot thing, I've had the same pump for 4 years now.
