Ricks tanks
I am going to purchase a ricks fuel tank(stealth model) and I'm not sure what pump to run. I was going to originaly use a Aeromotive Pro series pump but Aeromotive tech tells me with a big turbo under the hood(106mm) that I will be creating alot of temp. and this inturn will heat the fuel returning to the tank. And in a PT car that is going to be driven X amount of miles at a time this is not good!!! They recomend using dual A1000's so you can shut 1 off if your not in it (throttle). Inturn less fuel flow and less heated fuel in your tank. Does this make since?? Any help on this please. Thanks, Tino.

01-04-2006 #4I have a Ricks tank with two bosch pumps in it the second to be switched on with a hobbs switch after he engine sees 3lbs boost. I dont have the turbo manifold built yet but have been driving the car on the single pump. The vapor lock like syndrom that I had with the aeromotive pump is gone but It does have starvation problems under accelleration if it has less than 1/2 tank. Kinda bummed about that. Check out Hartline performance Cal has the pump they talk about on turbo buick.com on his car. I think he uses a fuel pump controller too.
