Default Fuel system pics

Its kinda hard to take pics under the car with it on jack stands but here is how I ran my return style fuel system.

Start with the fuel sump with -10 AN going to the filters and pump assembly

Next is the pump assembly

The -10 AN line goes to a Y block in the passenger side fender and 2 -8 AN line feed the rails


2 -6 AN lines leave the rails and go to the regulator and one -6 AN line goes from the regulator back to the sump



When ever I get the car on a lift I will try to take better pics.

I was worried about the -10 An line clearing the driveshaft (since its bigger then most peoples garden hoses) but it clears with about 3"s to spare. I have some lines that are within an inch of the exhaust which made me worried so I took a blow torch to some left over hose to see if it would melt and it barely made a mark so I'm good.

Damn, -10AN feed. What kind of numbers are you predicting?? BTW, I looked at baseline suspensions, that UCA setup looks hot. Are you gonna run the track locator?

I bought everything for about $1200 including having the tank made. You can buy an actual system similar to mine for $1400-$1600.

usually around 550-600rwhp, I believe either cobra's or lightnings come with them stock, but not sure.

Usually, I would reccomend anytime going with a turbo system going with a return style system so you eliminate fuel spikes, and eliminate the possibility of starving the engine with fuel.
