ERA Fiel Tank Mods for EFI

[Akimbeau]

Thanks for the clarifications, Bob. I'll edit my original post to keep the 427 crowd away. Would it be possible to install a return line on the top of the tank and use a rigid tube to get the return fuel to exit low in the tank? I've heard it's not advisable to have the return fuel enter the tank above the fuel level.

It's really tight above the tank, and running a hard line down the side might make it impossible to get the tank in or out. My original description still stands. If you have to, weld a bung next to the current one in the bottom/center of the tank. There may even be room toward the left side to enter the tank on the other side of the longitudinal baffle so that you get better thermal mixing. With that method, I suspect that the panel below the tank will have to be modified.

Copy that...thanks Bob! Is there a schematic of the tank construction so I can see where the interior baffles are placed?

Can another tank be ordered to accommodate the in tank fuel pump and return line? I know there has to be other FIA 289 owners that are running EFI, what did they do? Are there any other options for in the tank fuel pumps and EFI?
