those look bigger than 37s..... way sexier too

 

Tech question, what are all you racecar guys using for a fuel pump? Originally I wanted to stay with a intank pump, but with the fancy bladder fuel cell we got, I think an external would be better, simpler to use.

 

I like the internal pump better.

If you have the cover like this:

You may either be able to create a blank and modify a stock pump assembly and fast fill to fit.

Example: https://goatbuilt.com/shop/ibex/fuel-tank/ibex-fill-plate-blank-fill/

Or just mount pumps off brackets you make like this:

Or I've seen folks mount them externally to the top of the cell on a tray.

Agreed.

If you run external, make sure you mount the pump below the fuel cell. You can use shock reservoir bumpers and hose clamps to easily mount it to the chassis, just be very careful not to overtighten or you can egg the housing and the rotor will hit.

 

I'll ask what type mine has. not sure and its not stored at the house

zero issues so far.

 

The fill is round and there are only 2 fittings in the tank. I considered adding a internal through the fill portion, but I didn't know if it was worth the hassle if I could buy are reliable external pump.

 

Casey runs external, and I think Colville did on most if not all of his rigs. Both run dual pumps to have a backup.

Mine are all internal. I wouldn't have it any other way. I run my pumps for about a year and then swap them for new ones. Have yet to have one fail I just swap them as cheap insurance. I run the walbro gsl392 they are around 80$

Mike also ran internal the last few years.

Throw the foam in the garbage.

 

We run external, I think it's a walbro 255? 2 for each tank.

 

Bosch 044 here, being working great since 2011. You can buy specific clamps and isolaters for most pumps.

 

Update! I cut more stuff off and welded more on!

Did get some fancy bump cans too

 

:woot: glad it's getting fixed up :teehee:

 

Personalized! <3

This makes me want to get going on mine...

Looks great!

 

Ooooh those look nice


But not for long, lol

 

Green?

 

Yup, similar to the color of money. Similar to the $ I just spent on a winch rope somebody else broke.



Not because he asked (matter of fact I had to argue for him to accept it) but because it was the right thing to do. I was the one who asked for him to bring it so YOU could use it. If you won't take care of it, it fell on me. I held out long enough, and felt guilty long enough. It's taken care of now :thumb:.

Wasnt the rope kept and fixed by you John? I've gave a shit ton of parts out to people and never saw them back. I actually forgot all about this but it's a big deal to you guys so my bad.

 

If it was kept and fixed, has nothing to do with the agreement. You were in a spot and needed a winch to compete. I let you borrow mine. The deal was if the rope broke, you'd replace it. It broke. You told me you ordered one. Three months of excuses and no rope showed up. You said you cancelled the order and were gonna get it somewhere else. More months went by and no rope. I needed a winch for my trips. John fixed the broken rope so I could get by while I waited.... it's been long enough now.

Honest answer Erin, the rope isn't what I have the biggest issue with. We ran in the same club. We had the same friends. A lot of people talked shit about you and I stood up for you in conversation. I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
Apparently all those people talking shit, weren't to far off. I enjoyed your company. I guess I gave you to much credit. I wanted your word to mean something.

Now John replaced it. It wasn't his problem to fix. He wouldn't let me give the damn thing back. So now, not only was I out a winch rope, I now have to feel like I owe John for replacing something he didn't break. I don't like that feeling.
It's not fair to him. So because you didn't follow through, it's created unwanted pressure in John and I's friendship.

It is a big deal. It's been a big deal the whole time. Apparently it wasn't that big of deal to you.

I'm confused? Is someone still updating a sweet U4 Racing buggy? I like cool pictures of Race Cars more than internet word fights.

 

Isn't that better?

Hi Beefy! I wanna go WHEELING!!!!:woot:

 

I took this picture of a bug, so it kinda fits in.:nana:

 

Hmmmm...I wonder if those shocks and bumps came pre-tuned for @Mr. Beefy application?

 

That's an easy task, all shocks work equally when the buggy is on its roof.
