Default External Fuel Pump

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using an inline fuel pump rather than a in tank pump?

How do you go about running an inline pump on an EG?

Depends on your type of fuel pump.

Throwing a Walbro in tank is nice since they are fairly cheap, and the gasoline in the tank helps cool the unit. External pumps (ones of quality, that is) typically have some type of heatsink on them to help keep the pump cool. Since you have an EG, just throw a Walbro in and be done, it's so much easier.

I'd just sell it unless your going to be building a street car that has over 600hp+

Its not worth the hassle or the extra money to run that pump if its not needed.
