Re: In-tank or external fuel pump
I suppose if you have designed your tank installation such that it isn't three or four hours of labor to get the pump out of the tank when it fails, then an in-tank pump is incrementally better than an external pump.
Personally, I'm kind of put off by the cost of the tanks that will take an in-tank pump, unless you can somehow re-purpose a factory tank that already had one in it. The in-tank pumps ain't cheap either.
I use a stock first gen Camaro tank in my truck with a swirl pot and a boost pump. Works just as well as the expensive custom tanks and pumps at a lot less money. Replacing either pump is a ten minute job.
Yes it is a little more noisy, but jeez, it is a hot rod isn't it?
