As of right now I have an Aeromotive A1000 pump, 100 micro filter and a full race sump. I'm wondering about what Angle AN fittings I'm going to need and how many. Since they are so pricey I dont really want to order more then I'm going to need or anything like that. I did search and maybe i didint look hard enough but I didint see anything like what i was looking for. As of right now Here is my list

3 Strait -10 hose to -10 fittings (line to filter, filter to line)
1 90 -10
1 45 -10


I know this is no where near complete. I would like to know what everyone else was doing or maybe even pictures of how they routed their lines.

Thanks for your help everyone and lets try and keep this on topic for Future searches

Get a pen and paper and draw your fuel system out....

 

I did. And i can't seem to get the nack down to figure it all out. I can picture manifold in my head when i'm making them... but for some wierd reason i can't do it with a fuel system.

 

Damn, that sucks man. I can't see how it's really that difficult?

 

maybe go to the hardware store, buy a handful of some cheap *** brass fittings, in 45's 90's and maybe that would help you to visualize it a little better? maybe some flex pipe, just so you will be able to see where they go? GL

 

be sure to purchase swivel fittings. the ones that dont swivel are just a pita.

Its not, its just how my brain works. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. I have actually sat under the car and tried to think it out. I got frusterated and just made a manifold instead.

lazyyy

seriously...go back under the car and do it inch by inch......

 

i just bought what i thought i needed and was dead on other than needing different fitting for the pump.

dont mind the 3 foot long bolt to hold the pump in all i had for mock up

 

all straight fittings and about 30 ft of hose, according to Mr. Reed

 

Here is what my full race sump and fuel pump look like....

 

all straight yes dave and it 3 feet from the tank to the pump and its Read haha bret read

 

ok. MR Bret Read it is !

turbocivic94, why didnt you put the 90 on the filter and the straight on the sump ? straight shot out of the sump to the filter and less hose..

I agree.. Stan used to sell a whole package with all the fittings and like 12 feet of -10 for like 320 or so... Im sure he could still through that package together if you get with him...

 

noob question: does the return line go in the stock location when using a sump?

 

yes
what i did was cut all the **** off welded the holes and welded a steel bung on to it

 

I think i have a pretty good idea of what i need. I got a couple really good pm's... Thanks goes out to those who helped :-P

you could have gotten a fitting that threaded into one of the ports.

 

Where do you get these fittings everyone is talking about to go onto the stock fuel pump to go to an -8an?

 

What kind of pump is that?

Get off your *** Josh, grab dads credit card, go to WOFSCO and buy what you think you need. The fittings you dont use they will return AS LONG AS YOU DONT INSTALL THEM!

Our shop does this all the time. It kills your pocket for a little bit but at least your not making multiple stops at the fitting shop.

GL!
