What are thoughts on tank pickups for the 79-98 cars.
I thought I had the rest my fuel system figured out. Stock 96 tank with in tank pick up to a fuelab 42401 pump(with pre and post filters) going to the fuel lab regulator already installed. After talking with a certain fuel system manufacturer I'm having reservations going this route.
I know the in tank pickup isn't necessarily a perfect solution but I wasn't able to find anyone that had any issues with cavitation or running low on fuel. The big draw for me is allowing me to use the factory 96 tank vs upgrading to an 03/04 and multi pump hat or a sumped tank which I'm not a real big fan of. I know I've seen a few members here have good luck with them. The other option is a Glenns sumped sleeper tank which seems like a pretty good option albeit about 2x the cost of the pickup.
On the pump side of things I had planned on the fuelab 42401 because of the dual speed functionality that I could take advantage of with my MS3. The hope here was reduced heat and noise when 100% pump is not needed. From what I was told I would be lucky to make it a few years using the fuelab stuff. I'm making a separate thread for the fuel pump but figured I would get feedback on it here if anyone had any.
Thoughts?
