hay mate,

 

what's your fuel setup, mine still shits me off.

I didn't plan it out well enough and its noisy as, I have the surge tank and the lift pump

in the car so I get noise from the lift pump and fuel smell when I get in my car after its been sitting.

had planned to mount the pump and tank underneath but couldn't find anywhere, I think I'm gonna

try harder to at lease mount the lift pump under with the main pump.

i couldve done that for ya had you told me you wanted it under the car lol its a good system, you wont be able to use that surge tank if you do that, youl have to use the other one you got plus find room for it, and the lift pump, under the car plus fill in the holes we drilled and redo some of the wiring... big job, OR enclose the fuel system in perspex with a vent to under the car, much easier AND cheaper

I cheated abit..actually alot. i used a translator to write that. :)

 

I can't really speak it yet. still learning. only know basic greetings and thanks etc.

 

 

 

THE VAN CAN: My fuel system works ok and isnt too loud. only problem with how i did it (and its a pretty big problem lol) is if i run below half a tank and try and take corners hard i get bad fuel surge.

 

I haven't got any good pics of it yet, but basically it consists of: 1x plastic inline fuel filter coming straight from tank (in driver side wheel arch area) straight to a bosch VL commodore external pump mounted with Narva "P clips" and wrapped in rubber. its mounted under the back wheel arch outside the car. sort of infront of the tail light. in this pic below you can see how its mounted from inside the boot. (black rubber bit with two gold coloured M6 x 70mm bolts)

 

 

VL pump then connects straight to factory steel hard lines under the car (using brass barb fittings to change fuel line size from 1/2" to 1/4") and to a 6mm (1/4") Nissan exa efi fuel filter mounted in the engine bay. So No surgetank. (i wanna fit one).

 

When i had this sort of setup running I'm my sedan a couple years ago the fuel surge issue was no where near as bad.. it must be the shape of the wagon/van fuel tanks that make it worse.

 

Also note: i have a fitted boot cover over my floor area in the back, and when i take it out the pump is noticeably louder. so maybe add a floor covering if you don't already have one. :)

thanks for the info guys,

 

ya wasn't meaning to say I wasn't greatfull for the help luke just should of sat and thought about a bit more.

would the best option be just to pull the tank out and modify it with some sort of intank lift pump (Maybe even baffle the tank if I feel like getting someone too pull it apart)

and then run it into a surge tank in a side panel in the back panels in the cabin, and then back down to the main pump under the car.

It would mean the fuels still going through the cabin but at least its a little neater and less noisy. or I could go with the idea of perspex, which I don't really know much about.

It's so funny because I was actually doing my system exactly the same as you e70van I just had a external vl pump and I was driving round with fuel as low as possible because

the car would start easier (i don't know why, don't even ask, its fixed now) so I was getting epic surge driving for like two weeks, my engine must of loved it.

bos bas, kala?

 

haha, good to see some greek boys on here!

big fan of the panelvan, looking for one myself at the moment.

 

get some nice 13s all round and it'll be even better!

[e70van]

efharisto, but whats bos bas? :P

 

kala is good i know that much :bash:

 

can't go 13s anymore :( i have corona brakes on the front and min is 14". don't worry though, it will never have anything bigger than 14s on it! anything above 14s on a corolla look too big in my opinion :hail:
