I get the feeling that you think I am just an internet typist.

I put an aftermarket pump in my tank a few years ago and ruined the bucket. I got tired of keeping the tank topped up, and put a stock pump in with an inline.

So the pump I got from Texas Speed fit in the bucket, I would have found an alternative if'n it didn't. I was thinking of dual in-tank, but it would have been an extra bucket assembly, maybe it could be cable-tied to the first, with both buckets in the tank, and the top up for access.

I swear I don't mean this to be funny, but seemed for awhile that's all you heard about was dead inlines. Same with mine. I replaced them back to back. 3 total if I remember correctly. Then I modded my intank, no prob's since. However I am not putting 50K miles a year on it anymore either. Pics are posted backwards, completed on top, started at bottom.

Nah, i just am having a hard time with all these posts Im sifting through telling me that the baskets had to be hacked up. DId the pump you bought drop right in, with the sock on the outside of the bucket like the stock pump does, or did you have to put the sock on the inside? Does your pump have 2 inlets like the stock pump? Do you have an issue with running out of fuel when below 1/4 tank under hard excel? If they would make a 255l/ph thats the same size and configuration as the stocker everything would be fine.

......all that plus I dig your sexy posts Mike.

If I were in your situation I would add the auxillary pump and bigger injectors first. No reason to mess with the stock pump if it's working. If you don't have enough fuel pressure by doing that, then change it.

yep, somewhere up there in the posts I say the same thing (I just want to appear like I agree with Zip ) but there are my pics if you want a hack project for what remains of the winter.

Thats kind of my thinking too, only because if the aux pump fails, I can still get fuel from the stock intank pump. But if something goes wrong with the intank pump......1-800-towme

I've had inlines die and you can still run off the stock intank pump but, the inline creates such a restriction that you can't accelerate much at all. It will run and get you home or to a shop though.
