Yes, I have a submersible hose that cost $25 a foot :eek:. I'll connect the 2 pumps to an "Y" fitting and to the bulkhead.

So this damn rubber coated hoses are a PITA to work with. Although they look pretty when finish lol. I have blister in my fingers just trying to put the fittings into the hose. I have spent 2 days so far making lines and still have to do 3 more fittings. I think the regular braided hose would be a lot easier to work with.

But I have to go out of town for a week.

Fuel system complete!

The 1700cc Bosch fit perfectly

Had 2 leaks from the injectors, but the lines didn't leak

Also my car is now holding fuel pressure when off, before i'll just instantly drop to 0. Now holds at 20 psi

Is been going away a long time ago. It still way cheaper than 110 race fuel. It depends on power levels, if it goes away then I have to take the boost down and run 93 because Im not paying 9 dollars a gallon for race fuel

Seriously doubt it is going away.
Anyway, I have a E85 powered TII that is putting down over 600 RWHP.
I will be in Colorado this Summer in Late July if anybody needs any help tuning.
Be in Ft. Collins.
